The context is that this is from a public post on the legal forum about SORNA from http://support-for-families.boards.net/
Every registrant and their families need to be aware of SORNA! If you have any questions about it I would love to help out. Rew has these wise words of help:
“The feds do not care about state laws once a registrant crosses state lines and engages in interstate commerce without notifying the authorities within 72 hours. They do not care what the state does, since once a registrant crosses state lines and does not register, he has violated federal law.
In all the DOJ reports I read, it is ALWAYS the U.S. Marshals who round up these guys who cross state lines and fail to register. If you are no longer on the registry, you are no longer a registrant, but an offender. If you cross state lines and do not update your registration according to SORNA, you have broken federal law. At that point, the state has nothing to do with it.
You may not be required by the state to update your registration information, but you sure as hell are required by the feds...

The reason I am a stickler about this SORNA situation is I have had numerous registrants tell me that once they are removed from the registry, they plan on moving to another state. They have no idea about the SORNA requirements; they think, reasonably, that once off the registry, they can go anywhere. I don’t want them to get to their new state and get arrested on a federal FTR. That is very important to me.”

If you want to read the full post here it is:
I'm surprised that no one has challenged ex post facto against SORNA. Maybe someone has by now, but I can't recall reading anything on it.
Curious to know in situations such as Does vs Snyder if SORNA restrictions were released for those individuals. My husband is currently a covered member in Does vs Snyder II so I'm hoping that since on the federal level this would also be ex post facto for him, we would be relieved of those constraints.
Trying to stay hopeful here in Michigan for reform. We are so close yet still so far. We have two young children and would love to be able to travel and cross state lines if we have a final end date to this nightmare. We don't travel at all because of SORNA for any overnight stays in fear of not understanding federal or state laws.
