The Trump administration was handed another win on Thursday after a federal judge ruled that everyone in the U.S. illegally must register with the federal government and carry documentation.

The Associated Press reported that Judge Trevor Neil McFadden, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, sided with the administration after arguing it was enforcing an existing requirement for everyone in the country who is not a citizen of the U.S.

Rather than rule on the substance of the Trump administration’s arguments, McFadden ruled that the group pushing to stop the requirement did not have standing to pursue their claims.

McFadden’s ruling will go into effect Friday.

Judge allows Trump plan requiring registration for immigrants in US illegally

April 10 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Thursday allowed the Trump administration to go ahead with a plan to make immigrants illegally living in or entering the United States register with the federal government or face fines or imprisonment. 

[...]

Nicholas Espiritu, deputy legal director at the National Immigration Law Center, which represents the plaintiffs, called the ruling "disappointing," and said it would "force people into an impossible choice between registering and risking immediate deportation, or refusing and facing penalties." 

Federal law has long required immigrants in the United States, including those in the country illegally, to register, but the requirement has not been consistently enforced.

Why is doing the right thing an impossible choice?

Should have always been the case.
