Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has issued a stark warning to illegal, urging them to leave the U.S. voluntarily or face severe consequences. A DHS spokesperson reinforced this stance, stating that knowing who is in the country is essential for national security.
Noem announced a new illegal alien registry requiring fingerprinting and enforcement of the Immigration and Nationality Act. DHS emphasizes that failure to leave or register could result in criminal charges and prison time.
This is the latest effort by the Trump administration to intensify efforts to secure the border.
