Risk MORE prosecution? Is this a belt AND suspenders kind of thing?

Smells of "show yourself, get deported". As far as I, not a lawyer, understand that "illegal immigration" is a civil offense.

Doesn't China make people do this?

What shape and color of badges will they be required to wear when they go out in the streets?

Or is that phase later?

Where do I, a natural citizen (family has been here since 1620) sign up for this list?

These immigrants have been risking deportation and prosecution for decades, not sure they will come out and show their faces now.

Generally, a modern use of “under a WWII-era law…” is a bad sign.

Here’s exactly why your fears are well founded. The 90 days is ending soon.

Is there public comment?

I told my Trump-loving LPR relative about this, and their immediate reaction was that it couldn’t apply to them because they’re a LPR. No response after I explained it means they need to carry their I-551 lol

So they are appmying all the annoying procedures Visa holders go through already, but to anyone else that is permitted to stay longer than 30 days without a visa ... wondering if other nations will reciprocate against US citizens ...

You misspelled Persecution...

do they have to wear a star on their arm?

President Trumusk resurrects WWII-era registration for immigrants how charmingly retro in his persecution. Even authoritarian regimes typically update their playbooks. Democracy's gravediggers are now using vintage shovels.

Will they get a special arm band and stamp for their id ?

Bullshit

Here is a link to the interim final rule implementing the new registration form, which will be on USCIS's website. In the next post, I'll link the Council's explainer on this issue (which will be updated ASAP) https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-03944.pdf

Why bother adding a form when an I-862 was already on the list and that's what they're going to give everyone who registers anyway?

Here's what we wrote when USCIS first made this announcement. https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/trump-administration-registration-requirement-immigrants

TIL about NSEERS, and my money’s on this being as ineffective as that

reichlinmelnick.bsky.social•8 days ago

The Trump administration anticipates that there are roughly 2.2 million to 3.2 million people who may be newly required to register under this process, now that they have created a general registration form — mostly people who entered across the southern border and are not on the government's radar.
