Trump Admin to Launch Mandatory Online Registry of Illegal Immigrants with Names, Fingerprints and Home Addresses; Trump Threatens Fines and Prison Time for Undocumented Immigrants Who Don’t Join Registry

Trump admin to launch mandatory online registry of illegal immigrants with names, fingerprints and home addresses:

The Trump administration reportedly plans to roll out an online registry of illegal immigrants as early as this week that would force undocumented migrants to submit personal information or face fines and arrest.

The mandatory registry would require illegal immigrants, including minors over the age of 14, to submit fingerprints and home addresses, according to US Citizens and Immigration Services.

Migrants who fail to register could be fined as much as $5,000 and be sentenced to up to six months in prison, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

“Aliens in this country illegally face a choice,” read a memo from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on the incoming policy. “They can return home and follow the legal process to come to the United States or they can deal with the consequences of continuing to violate our laws.”

The move is part of President Trump’s effort to bolster the nation’s immigration laws and enforcement.

Under the current rules, migrants in the country illegally are committing a civil offense, rather than a criminal one, but could still be detained and deported.

The registry aims to get illegal immigrants who haven’t had interactions with the government, such as by seeking asylum or a work permit, on the Department of Homeland Security’s radar.

Illegal migrants will have 30 days to submit their personal information once the registration website is up and running, according to documents viewed by the Wall Street Journal. —>READ MORE HERE

Trump threatens fines and prison time for undocumented immigrants who don’t join registry:

US immigrants aged 14 and older who fail to provide fingerprints could face $5,000 fine and six months in prison

The Trump administration will require undocumented immigrants aged 14 and older to register with the federal government or face possible fines or prosecution.

The US Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that under the “Protecting the American People Against Invasion” executive order signed by Donald Trump last month undocumented immigrants must also provide their fingerprints, while parents must ensure children under 14 are registered. The department will provide “evidence” of their registration and those 18 and over must carry that document at all times.

The announcement comes as the US president has sought to harshly crackdown on immigration and implement a mass deportation campaign. Since taking office, his administration has attempted to suspend a refugee resettlement program (a judge blocked the cancellation), moved to cut off legal aid for immigrant kids (although it later walked back that decision), sought to allow immigration raids in schools and churches (another judge blocked such efforts in some houses of worship) and has begun sending undocumented immigrants to Guantánamo.

Under the program announced this week, undocumented immigrants 14 and older in the US for 30 days or more will be required to register and undergo fingerprinting. Parents and guardians must register children under 14, and once children reach that age they must reapply and be fingerprinted, DHS said on its website. Those who do not comply can face criminal penalties, including misdemeanor prosecution, and fines.

According to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the registry, undocumented immigrants will also be required to provide their home addresses and that failing to register could result in fines of up to $5,000 and six months in prison.

The law has long been on the books, homeland security secretary Kristi Noem said in an interview on Fox News, but she will start enforcing it as the Trump administration seeks to use “every single tool at [its] disposal” to implement the president’s promised immigration crackdown. By registering, undocumented immigrants can avoid criminal charges and the federal government will “help them” return to their home country, allowing them to eventually return to the US, she said. —>READ MORE HERE
