New FOIA on migrants potentially avoiding the draft could open new deportation predicate: attorneys
Fox News
An additional avenue for mass deportations may be opened through a new FOIA request to the Selective Service System, according to one lawyer involved.
By law, all U.S. males aged 18-26 must register with the SSS under penalty of felony conviction and $250,000 fine under the Military Selective Service Act of 1917, Howell’s group noted in their filing. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Additionally, the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952 makes failure to register with the SSS a deportable offense, and the SSS website clearly states undocumented aliens are required to sign up for the draft, Howell noted. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
However, the Oversight Project’s filing also cites a passage on the SSS website saying the agency does not share or collect information on a man’s immigration status and has "no authority to collect such information, has no use for it, and it is irrelevant to the registration requirement." Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
