Public Comment on DHS Registration Requirement

The National Immigration Project submitted a comment strongly opposing the Department of  Homeland Security’s (DHS) Interim Final Rule, set to go into effect on April 11, 2025, which will require noncitizens to register with DHS or face criminal consequences. Additionally the rule requires all noncitizens to carry proof of their registration with the government or face further criminal consequences. The National Immigration Project strongly opposes this rule which will likely lead to racial profiling and wrongful detentions and removals.
