In reply to Forced to register in Miami. I was asked the same question when I went to update another internet identifier. I thought it was a littke strange. They only wanted to know what state I was born in. I guess they might be trying to help track down someone who has "absconded".

On an unrelated note (but equally important) I was recently at my local registration office doing my bi-annual required check in. For the past 24 years this has been the same routine, are you still living at such and such, are you still working for blah blah. You all know the drill. Well this time the added a new question. Where were you born? Which brings up the question of people forced to register being deported or detained indefinitely. Of course this is Flori-duh so they’ll stay on the registry regardless is they’re here or in another country. It’s just frustrating that with everything else we have to go through and the hoops we have to jump through just to make it day after day and now we add this to the mix. Just doesn’t seem right.

Take note that these ICE raids are being conducted under that same banner as registration: that the actions taken by the state to detain large swaths of people without just cause isn’t punishment, but is civil in nature, and can’t be countermanded by a judge. This is a MASSIVE expansion of an already convoluted authority we registrants wallow in every day for almost the past 30 years. It’s the same vehicle, just a different color.
