YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS:
Deportation of Unregistered Immigrants: Policies Target Those Failing to Register, Risking Mass Arrests and Legal Action
One of the most significant measures in Trump’s immigration executive orders is the mandatory registration of all noncitizens with the U.S. government. The order mandates that every noncitizen, including those with lawful status, provide their fingerprints and register under an obscure and rarely used provision of U.S. immigration law. Those who fail to comply with this requirement will face criminal penalties, which could lead to arrests and deportation. Read more at www.askthelawyer.us.

Trump’s Executive Orders Spark Comparisons to Post-9/11 Policies
The September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center profoundly impacted U.S. policies, particularly concerning the treatment and perception of Muslim communities. In the aftermath, the government implemented measures like the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS), which mandated the registration of individuals from specific countries, predominantly Muslim-majority nations.
