A federal judge has just handed President Trump another big win.

Trump-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden has ruled that the Trump administration may move forward with requiring illegal immigrants to register online with the government.

In February, U.S. Citizens and Immigration Services announced the new requirement. Specifically, illegal aliens aged 14 and older will be forced to submit their names, addresses, and fingerprints to an online database.

If they don’t, then they could face fines up to $5,000 and up to six months in prison.

Several nonprofit organizations had sued the DHS after learning about the plan. But, Judge McFadden shot down their lawsuit, permitting the requirement to go into effect.

Another loss for Democrat lawfare.

Per AP News:

A federal judge on Thursday allowed the Trump administration to move forward with a requirement that everyone in the U.S. illegally must register with the federal government and carry documentation, in a move that could have far-reaching repercussions for immigrants across the country.

Judge Trevor Neil McFadden — a Trump appointee — sided with the administration, which had argued that officials were simply enforcing a requirement that already existed for everyone who is in the country but isn’t an American citizen. McFadden’s ruling didn’t go into the substance of those arguments but rested largely on the technical issue of whether the groups pushing to stop the requirement had standing to pursue their claims. He ruled they didn’t.

The requirement goes into effect Friday.

Immediately after the ruling, Department of Homeland Security officials emphasized in a news release that the deadline to register for those who’ve already been in the country for 30 days or more is Friday and that going forward, the registration requirement would be enforced to the fullest.

“President Trump and I have a clear message for those in our country illegally: leave now. If you leave now, you may have the opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream,” Secretary Kristi Noem said in the statement. “The Trump administration will enforce all our immigration laws — we will not pick and choose which laws we will enforce. We must know who is in our country for the safety and security of our homeland and all Americans.”

The New York Post also reported:

A federal judge ruled Thursday that the Trump administration can go ahead with a plan to force illegal immigrants to submit their names and personal information into an online registry – and fine and arrest those who don’t comply.

The registration requirement was announced by US Citizens and Immigration Services (USCIS) in February and goes into effect Friday.

It requires illegal immigrants, including minors 14 and older, to submit fingerprints and home addresses. Those who fail to register could be fined as much as $5,000 and be sentenced to up to six months in prison, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year.

A handful of nonprofit organizations serving immigrant communities – the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles (CHIRLA), United Farmworkers of America, Make the Road New York and CASA – sued the Department of Homeland Security last month in an effort to block the registration requirement from going into effect.

“Plaintiffs have not shown that they are likely to succeed on the merits,” DC US District Court Judge Trevor McFadden ruled Thursday. “They have failed to demonstrate that they have standing to bring this suit.”

McFadden, an appointee of President Trump, argued that the potential harms of the registry, as alleged by the advocacy groups, were “speculative” and the nonprofits “have not shown that any individual member possesses a concrete harm cognizable by an Article III court.”
