Trump administration creates registry for immigrants who are in the US illegally
The Trump administration is creating a registry for all people who are in the U.S. illegally, and those who don’t self-report could face fines or prosecution.
Summary
The Trump administration has announced a new registry for undocumented immigrants, requiring them to self-report, provide fingerprints, and list their addresses.
Those who fail to comply could face fines or prosecution under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The move aligns with the administration’s broader crackdown on illegal immigration and mass deportation plans.
Critics, including the National Immigration Law Center, warn the registry could be used to target individuals for deportation, drawing parallels to past government efforts to register noncitizens for national security purposes.

This sets a dangerous precedent. If they can add this group to the list now, who will be next? Will they target transgender individuals, people of color, or those who practice religions that differ from the state’s official stance? This raises serious concerns about the erosion of civil rights and the potential for discrimination under the guise of policy enforcement.

You and I both know they will. They require an ingroup and an outgroup. Once the current outgroup is gone, they find a new one to replace the boogeyman.
It's also frightfully similar to Nazi Germany requiring Jews identify themselves with armbands.
First they created the sex offender list, you didn't speak up because you were not a sex offender.
Then they created the immigrant list, you didn't speak up because you were not an immigrant.
Etc etc.
History repeats because nobody learns
