REAL ID Enforcement Tightens to Curb Illegal Immigration Under Trump

The Department of Homeland Security under the Trump administration is enforcing the REAL ID Act to prevent illegal immigrants from using domestic flights, according to an exclusive memo obtained by Fox News Digital.

In a significant move to enhance national security and control illegal immigration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that it will strictly enforce the REAL ID Act starting May 7. The memo, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, outlines that the primary aim of this enforcement is to prevent individuals in the country illegally from boarding domestic flights, except for those self-deporting on international flights.

Sean Hannity on ‘Hannity’ discussed how the Trump administration’s approach to border security has led to this decision. The memo states that under the previous Biden administration, illegal immigrants exploited non-compliant IDs issued by sanctuary cities to board flights, a loophole that REAL ID aims to close. The higher security standards of REAL ID make it nearly impossible to forge legitimate documents, ensuring only verified travelers can fly.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized the importance of this measure in preventing potential threats from exploiting the aviation system, referencing the vulnerabilities exposed during the 9/11 attacks. The memo also highlights that over 1.4 million ‘inadmissible aliens’ entered the U.S. during the Biden administration through programs like CBP One, with many subsequently using domestic flights.

The enforcement of REAL ID is part of broader immigration policy changes under Trump, including the replacement of the CBP One app with the CBP Home app designed for self-deportations. Critics like Rep. Thomas Massie argue that REAL ID poses a risk to freedom and question its necessity, but supporters, including Secretary Noem, assert that it is crucial for national security.

As the deadline approaches, Americans are reminded that a REAL ID or a passport will be required for domestic air travel and access to certain federal facilities. The DHS’s firm stance on REAL ID enforcement is a clear signal of the Trump administration’s commitment to tightening border security and immigration control.
