No Round Up Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The No Round Up Act removes the Alien Registration Act framework from the Immigration and Nationality Act. It repeals INA section 262, narrows section 263 by removing registration categories tied to sections 261 and 262, alien crewmen, institutional confinement, and related subsection language, removes Attorney General authority to prepare forms for registration and fingerprinting under section 262 from section 264, repeals section 264(e), repeals address-reporting subsection 265(b), repeals section 266 penalties, and repeals deportability clause 237(a)(3)(B)(i). The practical effect is to eliminate federal registration and fingerprinting requirements and related penalties and removability consequences created by the 1940 registration regime.
Who Benefits and How
Noncitizens subject to registration rules benefit from repeal of the registration, fingerprinting, address-reporting, and penalty framework. Immigrant rights organizations benefit because a broad registration-based enforcement tool is removed. Civil liberties advocates benefit from repeal of federal registration and fingerprinting provisions tied to immigration status. Noncitizen communities benefit if deportability exposure tied to registration-document violations is narrowed.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Federal immigration enforcement agencies lose registration, fingerprinting, address-reporting, penalty, and deportability tools. The Department of Homeland Security must update enforcement guidance and forms to reflect repealed registration provisions. Immigration prosecutors lose one statutory ground tied to registration-document violations. Federal immigration databases may need updates if registration provisions are removed.
