A federal judge on Thursday sided with the Trump administration by ruling that every migrant who is in the United States illegally must register with the federal government.

The Department of Homeland Security announced in February that all illegal migrants will be required to register with the government, and that those who did not could face fines or prosecution.

Judge Trevor Neil McFadden agreed that all illegal migrants over the age of 13 need to register, according to the Associated Press. Those migrants will need to provide fingerprints and their addresses. The registration process will also include people in the country illegally for more than 30 days, such as Canadians who come south for the winter.

The Trump administration has argued that the law already existed, but officials are only now seriously enforcing it.
