The Trump administration has announced the launch of a registration process for individuals living in the United States illegally. According to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, all undocumented immigrants will be required to register, provide fingerprints, and disclose their address.

This announcement comes amid ongoing large-scale deportations of undocumented immigrants. The statement emphasized that failure to comply with the registration process will be considered a criminal offense, punishable by fines, imprisonment, or both.

The administration noted that this law has been ignored for decades but vowed to enforce it moving forward. US Citizenship and Immigration Services confirmed that forms and procedures for the registration process are currently being developed.

Some observers have suggested that the purpose of the registration process could be to identify non-citizens for potential deportation.

Bank of Canada Expected to Hold Interest Rate at 2.25%, Rate Hikes Possible in 2027

However, discussions are growing about the possibility of interest rate increases next year as the ongoing trade war could put addit
