I think I read in some other post that someone called USCIS and they confirmed that flying anywhere in the U.S. was fine, including Hawaii and Alaska. However, there might be a problem in places like The Virgin Islands where you are required to present proof of permission for reentry in order to board a plane back to the mainland. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

I travel with my Mexican passport last year, in August i went from Denver to Miami, Miami to Dallas to Denver and in October Denver to Ontario, Ca and everything went fine, all tsa wants it that you show proof of who you are and a foreign passport is a valid identification for them they only ask that is not an expired id.

quick story, my sister lost her passport in Miami and was allowed to fly, she got a police report as proof of identification, TSA ask for her SSN she said she didn't have one, all they ask her was our address and the streets around our house waited a few minutes, fill out a paper with name and address that was it, we made it back home to Denver.

here is a link with the acceptable forms of id for TSA:

You don't lose DACA, You can apply for something called Advanced Parole, which means you have to pay he 360 application fee, and prove that you're traveling for work, educational, or humanitarian reasons. There is a risk that the officer at the entry port won't let you in, but that's left to the officer's criteria, there's no guarantee.

Yes, but only if they first apply for and receive a special travel document known as “advance parole.” Generally, advance parole is only granted for travel relating to humanitarian, educational, or employment purposes, and requires payment of a $360 application fee. By departing the country, however, immigrants who were unlawfully present for more than 180 days after their 18th birthday could face legal obstacles re-entering the country or obtaining lawful permanent residence (i.e. a “green card”) in the future.

Yep, I flew from Utah to New York with my only my state's driver's license, and had no issues at all. (I took a copy of my deferred action letter just in case, but didn't need it).

I recently traveled to Hawaii with just my Mexican passport and had NO problems. It is part of the USA, so the same rules applies as if you were traveling in the mainland. Not sure about Puerto Rico though,...
