The move applies to immigrants over the age of 13 who are in the U.S. unlawfully and who have not submitted fingerprints or registered with the federal government.
Hundreds of "illegal immigrant criminals" in the U.S. were arrested and hundreds more flown out of the country on military aircraft, the White House said.
The move has been slammed by civil rights and community groups, who say it "fosters division" and "endangers residents."
