Failing to Register as an “Alien.” An immigrant in Phoenix is facing a federal charge for failing to register as an “alien” with the US government. The Trump administration had promised to enforce a little-used law that was used in the 1940s. This appears to be the first time this law has been enforced in Phoenix and perhaps the entire country.
