The United States (US) has introduced a new policy requiring all immigrants to register with immigration authorities to ensure compliance with U.S. immigration laws.
The new directive, issued under the executive order titled Protecting the American People Against Invasion, mandates the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to enforce an existing federal law that has largely been overlooked.
Immigrants who fail to register may face legal penalties, including fines or prosecution.
According to TravelBiz, the policy takes effect on February 25, 2025. Foreign nationals who have not yet registered with the U.S. government must do so immediately to avoid immigration-related penalties.
Registration involves recording an individual’s presence in the U.S. to help track immigration status and ensure legal compliance.
Failure to comply could result in significant legal consequences, including fines or further action by immigration authorities.
