In a story shocking millions across the nation, an illegal migrant from Uzbekistan—wanted on terrorism charges and tied to jihadist recruitment—was arrested driving an 18-wheeler in Kansas after receiving full work authorization, a commercial driver's license, and Real ID in the United States.

A viral story crossing political lines—Americans are now asking: If terrorists can get Real ID, what’s the point of having one?
