The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reminding those in the United States illegally to register with the government, following a legal victory that cleared the path for the policy to move forward.

In a statement issued April 11, the DHS announced that individuals who have been in the country for more than 30 days must register with the federal government by the end of the day or face potential legal consequences.
