USCIS Provides Update on Alien Registration Requirement

2/25/25 AILA Doc. No. 25022602. Removal & Relief

USCIS provided information on the “Alien Registration Requirement” pursuant to INA §262 and Executive Order (EO) 14159, “Protecting the American People Against Invasion,” announcing that USCIS is establishing a new form and process by which undocumented immigrants may register. The notice states that, with limited exceptions, it is the legal obligation of all unregistered noncitizens (or previously registered children who turn 14 years old) in the United States to comply with the registration requirements, and that failure to comply will result in criminal and civil penalties, including misdemeanor prosecution and fines. The announcement includes details on who has already registered, who must apply for registration, and how to register.
