Under existing rules, immigrants in the U.S. illegally are committing a civil offense and can be detained and deported on that basis, but arenโt considered to be committing a crime.
President Trump is now threatening to punish immigrants as young as 14 years old with criminal penalties, including jail time, if they fail to sign up for a government registry.
