https://www.cnbctv18.com/-In a major shift in US immigration policy, the White House has announced a sweeping new rule requiring all foreign nationals residing in the United States for more than 30 days to register with the federal government—or face severe penalties. This includes undocumented immigrants, visa holders (such as H-1B and F-1), legal permanent residents, and even recent arrivals without valid documentation.
Universities to federal judges, how US institutions are pushing back on Trump’s decisions
Effective April 11, 2025, the regulation mandates that all non-citizens aged 18 and older must carry proof of registration at all times. Those entering the US after this date must register within 30 days of arrival. Children turning 14 must also re-register and submit fingerprints, regardless of any prior status.
The new rule is based on the long-dormant Alien Registration Act, originally enacted during World War II. It has been revived under an interim final rule issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), following President Trump’s executive order titled “Protecting the American People Against Invasion.”
White House reaction
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “All foreign nationals staying in the United States for more than 30 days must register with the federal government. Failure to comply is a crime punishable by fines, imprisonment or both.”
DHS clarified that even legally residing individuals are affected and must comply with the documentation requirement. Address changes must also be reported within 10 days to avoid penalties.
Immigrant rights groups have challenged the rule in court, but a federal judge allowed it to proceed.

From the absurd to the ridiculous. Everyday it just gets worst. 2029, where are you?
Well, you’re witnessing the death of a nation and a civilization.
In 2029 the vance/desantis ticker will take over.
Caustic Bastard, that may be partially correct…but nuh forget dat whenever di U.S. $neeze$, di Caribbean ketch (New-moan-yah) Pneumonia? 😂😂😂 So be careful what we wi$h for. 🤣
It is their country and they have every right. It is now up to us to build up our country.
@Caustic Bastard…this is more about an [agenda], and not necessarily Trump by himself, but an Order/Cult which is fearful, of losing what they consider and promote, as the superior race of HUEmanity.
As we are witnessing, the laws which they are utilizing, are still on the books and decades old. The oldest one which has being used so far, is one from the 1890’s and this one from World War II.
What we are witnessing is not necessarily, the death of a Civilization but the death of a particular HUE of people, that make up the HUEman Race.
Regardless, #TRUMP_2 will pass too! It’s the continued [agenda] which should be more concerning.
China, the purported next SUPER POWER has her boarders under control, and is fighting places like TIBET to relinquish their sovereign rights to them. Taiwan to Hong Kong are all in China crosshairs.
The allegories of Ingersoll Lockwood, both Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Adventures with his DOGe Bulga and The Last President makes for some interesting reading.
Orwell had his Animal Farm and 1984, and we are living some aspects of both in these times. So, could Ingersoll Lockwood’s works, be that far off from these [times], or are they parody’s?
If the American Civilization dies, the Antigua which you may reside in dies with it….

…so we can know where to find you
This article is misleading. A short check on the USCIS site will tell you that…
If you entered the U.S. legally and are still within the permitted duration of your stay (e.g., as a tourist, student, worker, etc.), and you were already fingerprinted and documented upon arrival, you generally do not need to take any additional steps or
register again.
The Executive Order mentioned mainly targets individuals who are:
. In the U.S. illegally (e.g., those who entered without inspection or overstayed their visas),
Not complying with immigration laws,
. Involved in criminal activity related to immigration.
Persons that are maintaining lawful status and complying with the conditions of their visa or entry are not a target of the enforcement measures described in the order.
