Question about traveling domestically once Trump is in office

Hey guys, so I live in WA state where we are able to use our driver's license as a form of ID (until 2018 at least) to go on the plane.

I am thinking about traveling to AZ in February, but I'm worried that Trump will rescind DACA and all the benefits before that once he's in the office this Friday. I know that along with DACA comes our driving privileges. So if Trump gets rid of DACA, then we essentially lose our right to drive. But it's still a valid form of ID (going to a bar, or flying domestically)?

My question: do you think I would be able to fly (leave WA and come back) with my license still even if Trump gets rid of DACA? Are there any risks?

Thanks in advance.

Use your passport, you're allowed to travel using that

If you would've actually taken the time to read the REAL ID ACT, You'd see that you can use your Work Permit or your own countries passport to travel within the US.

You would still have driving privileges until your DL expires

I am quoting what one legal expert at this organization called Unlocal said back in december. she advised DACA recipients to not fly domestically. They said trump might be able to use the daca designation on our EAD or the work permit expiration date on our EAD as a way to profile dreamers. idk how true it will be but thats what i have heard.

highly recommend using your passport

dont listen to what the laywer said, what is he a mind reader

OP, if your WA driver's license doesn't have any special identifier to separately point you out as a DACA recipient, then you should feel pretty safe traveling with it.

If you wanna be safe, then have your passport handy, too.

Point is, you shouldn't feel uncomfortable about traveling domestically.

When my DACA expired, I had to fly home from Maryland to Los Angeles. I was deathly terrified at the TSA line, but they just looked at my California license and sent me on my way. Just as they had done many times before.

I got the same question as OP. Here's the thing though, I have to cross through a checkpoint. I always show BOTH my DL and my EAC (the card, not the document) to the border patrol agen just to be on the safe side (some are complete assholes).

Now, if this legal expert that lalaland45 mentions is right--indeed they could easily find out that I'm a DACA recipient just by looking at the category section in my EAC (C33) and therefore make some action.

I totally agree with vivace, use your DL if it's a regular one or your passport. Seriously, you'll be fine. One document is enough.

Thanks for explaining it! I just wanted to make sure there weren't any risk I didn't think of that might expect it. And to have some evidence to convince my parents that it's safe.

I honestly haven't flown in a plane in so long, so I wasnt sure if they like scanned our IDs/license/passport to see our status or something or not haha. But I don't think TSA even has that technology, especially at an airport. As long as my name matches the ticket and my face matches my ID, then they probably wont even look at me twice, right?
