Leidys Delmas Garcia, a Cuban native who became a U.S. citizen on January 19, 2019, is facing denaturalization proceedings from the Department of Justice. Prosecutors say that between October 2018 and November 2022, she and others ran fraudulent physical therapy clinics that billed Blue Cross Blue Shield about $24.2 million, receiving roughly $5.8 million in payouts, of which Garcia personally obtained about $1.6 million. During her January 2019 naturalization interview, she denied under oath ever having committed a crime, despite her ongoing involvement in the scheme. She was indicted in November 2022 and pleaded guilty in July 2023, admitting her role in the conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud.
