A federal judge sided with the Trump administration Thursday, clearing the way for a policy that requires people in the U.S. illegally to register with the federal government and marking another win for the White House in its crackdown on illegal immigration.

District Court Judge Trevor N. McFadden ruled against a coalition of immigration advocacy organizations in a filing, allowing the Trump administration to put the requirement into effect Friday.

McFadden said the coalition “failed to show” their arguments had a “substantial likelihood of standing” after the advocacy organizations said the rule lacked clarity over what types of immigrants would already be considered as registered.

The requirement will apply to non-citizens aged 14 or older who lack the legal status to live in the U.S. and says those who do not self-register could be hit with fines or prosecuted.

The Trump administration argued it was seeking to enforce a pre-existing requirement for people in the country illegally to register.

Those who register under the rule, which also applies to Canadians in the U.S. for over a month, are required to provide fingerprints and an address.
