Rules for Undocumented Aliens
On January 20th 2025, Trump issued an Executive Order directing the Department of Homeland Security to enforce an "alien registration requirement". The agency issued a final rule in April 2025 that requires all noncitizens over the age of 14 to register and be fingerprinted. Parents or guardians must register noncitizen children under age 14. The rule also requires adult noncitizens to carry "evidence of registration" at all times.
This process does not stop ICE from arresting them, but does help ICE identify them for arrest and deportation at any time.
