Yes, this article is junk. The motivating story in it is an actual REAL ID and a genuine US citizen; no evidence is presented that the REAL ID is actually unreliable for its purpose other than the claims of an agency that’s bungling its own illegal operations.

- y-c-o-m-b 10mo agoIn what way do those states not match DHS requirements? I had to produce proof of legal status (citizenship doc/passport), proof of social security, and proof of residency in person in order to get my Real ID in Oregon.
- metadope 10mo agoMy guess is that these are states where someone (a mayor, a governor) spoke out in opposition to recent escalations in immigration enforcement, or declared themselves sanctuaries, or simply voted the wrong way in recent elections. Whatever the criteria, it's political and tribal and emotional and not real. As an aside, any Freudians out there like me who have an urge to explore a new analysis and interpretation of America's real id?
- woodruffw 10mo agoCan you explain what you mean by “defying Federal law”? I just checked the NY DMV, and they require proof of citizenship and/or lawful status for a REAL ID. I don’t know about other states, but I would be surprised if any state were to try to issue REAL-specific IDs without complying, given that they can always issue non-REAL IDs anyways.
