No Round Up Act

Summary

Repeals multiple provisions of the Alien Registration Act of 1940 that are currently codified in the Immigration and Nationality Act, removing statutory authority for alien registration and related fingerprinting processes and deleting related cross-references and penalty language. The bill makes only conforming changes to existing immigration law; it does not appropriate funds, create new programs, or set deadlines.

• Repeals legal provisions that authorized alien registration and related fingerprinting under the 1940 Alien Registration Act.
• Removes cross-references and penalty language tied to those registration provisions from the Immigration and Nationality Act.
• Deletes a clause previously linked to removal/deportation language as a conforming change.
• Does not create new programs, funding, or deadlines; it is a statutory cleanup measure.
• Could narrow or eliminate a statutory basis for penalizing failure to register where that basis relied solely on the repealed text.
• May require federal agencies to update forms, guidance, and regulations that reference the repealed provisions.
• Operational fingerprinting or biometric collection based on other statutes or regulations would not automatically end.
• Could produce legal uncertainty or litigation over how past or pending cases should be handled without the repealed provisions.
