A federal judge on Thursday sided with President Trump and allowed the administration to require illegal aliens to register in an online database or face prison time, fines.
US District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, allowed the Trump Admin to require mandatory registration for everyone 14 or older.
In late February, Trump escalated his efforts to curb illegal immigration by requiring aliens to register in a tracking database.
The Trump Administration is encouraging illegal aliens to self-deport with the new tracking system.
The DHS said illegal aliens will face harsh penalties if they don’t submit fingerprints or disclose to the government if their address has changed.
AP reported:
A federal judge is allowing the Trump administration to move forward with a requirement that everyone in the U.S. illegally must register with the federal government, in a move that could have far-reaching repercussions for immigrants across the country.
In a ruling Thursday, Judge Trevor Neil McFadden sided with the administration, which had argued that they were simply enforcing an already existing requirement for everyone in the country who wasn’t an American citizen to register with the government.
The requirement goes into effect Friday.
Registration will be mandatory for everyone 14 and older without legal status. People registering have to provide their fingerprints and address, and parents and guardians of anyone under age 14 must ensure they registered.
