Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This bill, the "No Round Up Act," repeals the Alien Registration Act of 1940 by removing statutory provisions that required registration and fingerprinting of noncitizens and related enforcement provisions in chapter 7 of title II of the Immigration and Nationality Act. It also removes several related sections (including sections 262 and 266 and subsections of 263–265) and repeals a deportability clause tied to registration in section 237(a)(3)(B).
Liberty vs enforcement: liberals emphasize civil liberties; conservatives emphasize enforcement.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is clear and legally specific about which statutory provisions are to be removed, but it provides minimal implementation, fiscal, or transitional detail.

The statutory changes would eliminate the specific federal registration/fingerprinting regime and some enforcement authorities that flowed from that law.
Targeted statutory repeal but on a divisive issue; lacks compromise features and could encounter strong opposition.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Liberty vs enforcement: liberals emphasize civil liberties; conservatives emphasize enforcement.
Likely broadly supportive because the bill removes a legacy registration regime associated with mass 'round ups' and potential discrimination.
Seen as advancing immigrant civil liberties, reducing federal overreach, and limiting a tool that can be used for large-scale enforcement sweeps.
Mixed view: appreciates civil-rights protections in the bill but worries about unintended public-safety or administrative gaps.
Wants to ensure public safety tools and information-sharing remain for criminal investigations while avoiding broad, non-targeted registration programs.
Likely opposed because the bill removes federal enforcement authorities that conservatives view as necessary for immigration control, public safety, and rule-of-law enforcement.
Sees repeal as weakening deportation and tracking mechanisms.
