Trump administration plans to require undocumented immigrants to join registry or face jail, fines
Briefly

The Trump administration is set to launch a controversial immigrant registry, mandating that undocumented immigrants, including minors, provide personal information and fingerprints. Those aged 14 and older failing to comply may face fines or misdemeanor charges. This program, which is criticized by immigrant rights advocates, is aimed at undocumented individuals who haven't previously encountered immigration enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security has asked these individuals to prepare by creating accounts with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, emphasizing national security and public safety as justifications for the program.
The Trump administration's new immigrant registry demands personal details and fingerprints from those in the U.S. illegally, escalating ongoing tough immigration policies.
Targeting undocumented individuals who haven't interacted with immigration officials, the program leverages the Alien Registration Act of 1940, intensifying enforcement measures.
