In a controversial move, the Trump administration has announced a mandatory registration system for all undocumented immigrants living in the United States. Immigration officials, including DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, have stated that those without proper documentation must register with federal authorities, which will include providing fingerprints and personal information. Failure to comply with this mandate could result in severe penalties, including fines and potential jail time. The announcement has raised alarm among immigration advocates and sparked fears of increased deportations, particularly among vulnerable populations such as children. Critics of the policy argue that it could create an atmosphere of fear and distrust within immigrant communities. The implementation of this registry is expected to partner with local law enforcement to aid in enforcement efforts.
