The Trump administration is creating a registry for all people who are in the U.S. illegally, and those who don’t self-report could face fines or prosecution.

Summary

The Trump administration has announced a new registry for undocumented immigrants, requiring them to self-report, provide fingerprints, and list their addresses.

Those who fail to comply could face fines or prosecution under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The move aligns with the administration’s broader crackdown on illegal immigration and mass deportation plans.

Critics, including the National Immigration Law Center, warn the registry could be used to target individuals for deportation, drawing parallels to past government efforts to register noncitizens for national security purposes.

    As has been seen since fascism took over, they will absolutely target legal immigrants and play it off as minor and infrequent.
