US introduces new rules for green card and work visa holders: must always carry ID
Immigrants to the US are now required to carry identification at all times. A new federal rule in the United States could seriously affect millions of people, warns Economic Times.

The innovation concerns both undocumented migrants and those who legally reside on work, student or tourist visas.
Under the new rules, any non-citizen over the age of 18, regardless of visa status, is now required to carry proof of registration at all times.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) emphasized: "All non-citizens 18 years of age and older must carry these documents at all times. The Administration has directed DHS to focus on enforcing the order. There will be no leniency for violators."
The rule, which took effect April 11, follows a district court ruling that cleared the way for the Trump administration to enforce the Alien Registration Act, a World War II-era law that requires all non-citizens in the U.S. for more than 30 days to register with the federal government. Failure to comply can result in fines, jail time, and even deportation.
