No Round Up Act

This bill would end the old federal “alien registration” system from 1940. It repeals that law and deletes related parts of immigration law that deal with registration documents and related rules, including several specific sections and a deportability clause tied to those rules.

Key points

• Who is affected: Noncitizens in the U.S. and federal immigration agencies.
• What changes: Repeals the Alien Registration Act of 1940 and removes connected registration/document requirements and related provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act (for example, sections 262, 263(b), 264(e), 265(b), 266, and a clause in 237(a)(3)(B)(i)).
• What this means: The federal government would no longer run or enforce that registration system, and references to it would be taken out of immigration law.
