NILC Statement on Trump’s New Immigrant Registration Requirement
WASHINGTON — Heidi Altman, vice president of policy at the National Immigration Law Center, issued the following statement in response to the Trump administration’s announcement that it will require undocumented immigrants to register with the federal government or face criminal penalties:
“The Trump administration’s registry announcement harkens back to shameful episodes in U.S. history of government-sanctioned discrimination against immigrants and people of color. All of us must reject this transparent attempt to criminalize, entrap, and spread more fear and confusion in our communities. No good has ever come out of forced registries that subject people to racial profiling and tee up entire communities to be targeted for detention and deportation.”
