Trump threatens fines and prison time for undocumented immigrants who don’t join registry

US immigrants aged 14 and older who fail to provide fingerprints could face $5,000 fine and six months in prison

The Trump administration will require undocumented immigrants aged 14 and older to register with the federal government or face possible fines or prosecution.

The US Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that under the Protecting the American People Against Invasion" executive order signed by Donald Trump last month undocumented immigrants must also provide their fingerprints, while parents must ensure children under 14 are registered. The department will provide evidence" of their registration and those 18 and over must carry that document at all times.
