The Commission had Muggle-borns who registered fill out questionnaires about their family history, and then wait for their trial behind bars in the Ministry of Magic. While awaiting trial, they were guarded by Dementors, and threatened with the Dementor's Kiss if they resisted. Trials were held by Commission head Dolores Umbridge, who was assisted by Death Eater and head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement Yaxley at times. Travers, another Death Eater, may also have been involved, as Umbridge once mentioned him sending someone to record-keep for her.
Those who could not prove that they had magical heritage — in other words, any Muggle-born and potentially some half-bloods — were sentenced to Azkaban for having "stolen" magic.[3]
Some, however, were apparently released after being stripped of their wands and their jobs, and ended up homeless[4]. Muggle-Born Commission Courtroom
Mary Cattermole's trial, presided over by Umbridge
This led some Muggle-borns to fake their family trees, such as Dirk Cresswell[3], and others to refuse to register and go on the run, such as Ted Tonks[5]. These individuals were pursued by Snatchers, sometimes fatally. Their deaths were not reported by news outlets such as the Daily Prophet, only by the rebellious radio program Potterwatch.[2]
