All immigrants in the U.S. illegally will be required to submit fingerprints and register with the federal government, the Trump administration announced on Tuesday, reviving immigration policies previously used to carry out controversial mass detentions and deportations.
“Aliens in this country illegally face a choice,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in a memo of the new 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.”
