Department of Homeland Security's Special Registration Program

Event Summary

In light of the attacks of September 11 and our nation's heightened state of security, Attorney General John Ashcroft has implemented a new Special Registration program. The program requires certain nonimmigrant men (those who are in the US with temporary visas) who are 16 years of age or older and nationals or citizens of specified countries, to register at authorized immigration offices by certain government mandated dates. The program has received considerable media attention and sparked national debate over its scope, efficacy, and merits.
