Newsday is reporting that immigrants restricted to temporary stays in the U.S. must soon re-register their presence in the country or face possible arrest or deportation. After the Sept. 11 attacks, federal authorities last year began requiring male immigrants from 25 countries to register. With the exception of North Korea, 24 of the 25 countries on the list have Muslim majorities.

Under the program over 80,000 immigrants had registered themselves as of Sept. 30 last year. Officials claim that immigrants were told about the annual re-registration requirement when they initially reported.
