The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Tuesday that aliens in the country who have not already done so must register with the federal government and that failing to do so will result in fines, potential imprisonment, or both.

This would allow law enforcement to track and compel illegal immigrants to self-deport, while saving agency resources that would otherwise be used on carrying out physical removals, the DHS said in a statement.
