There is no way they will be able to prevent people from going to Mexico to buy them though. And that’s what is being predicted.
Unless they come up with something that prevents them from getting DoT certification, sadly I can see them doing that. Or as long as they keep citing “national security” you won’t be able to.
Registration of prohibited car models is not allowed. You might be able to import them, but there might be punitively high tariff and it would not be legal to drive
There was literally an article about this being predicted to happen soon in this community a few days ago:

Apparently, the people who actually make the laws aren’t as sure about this as you are.
Yes they will. In Washington State, you have to pay WA sales tax to register a new car you bought in Oregon.
How is making someone pay sales tax stopping them from buying a car in Mexico? Unless they’re going to stop all Mexican cars at the Washington border…
you won’t be able to register it anywhere in the united states; which means that you won’t be legally allowed to drive it unless you garage it every night at a mexican address.
You think people with cars registered in Mexico have to go back to Mexico every night?
Mexicans can’t drive their cars further into the United States than a 12-hour drive? You really think that?
it’s required to by law; only presidents are allowed to break the law. lol
