Alabama is finding new ways to criminally charge undocumented immigrants. Federal courts in the state are reinterpreting a law last used during the U.S. internment of Japanese in America during World War II to charge immigrants without legal papers for not self-registering.
“The Trump administration is attempting to effectively criminalize unlawful presence in the United States,” said immigration attorney Danny Upton, “to facilitate (the immigrants’) own eventual removal.”

In 2025, 27 people were charged with Failure to Register under the Alien Immigration Act in Alabama, and 13 were charged with failure to notify of change of address. Public records in Alabama don’t reflect what events led up to these people being criminally charged for not registering, but court documents do show traces of their paths from Alabama to detention facilities, mostly in Louisiana.
Sounds lke a plan to me!

So… Trump… is attempting to criminalize… people who are here illegally? This is a bold move. Let’s see how this goes for him. Before long they will start enforcing other laws and even speed limits.

Having very recently read the entirety of 8 U.S. Code § 1325, it was made obvious to me in no uncertain terms and with irrefutable and incontestable legal documentation, that "UNLAWFUL presence in the United States" is UNLAWFUL.
I mean, how stupid is the statement by that lawyer? Read this again:
