Does the REAL ID contain any anti-discrimination provisions?
No. There are no provisions in REAL ID that address or prohibit discrimination by DMV employees and there is no administrative remedy for those who experience discrimination when trying to obtain a license. When Congress enacted employer sanctions, the law included anti-discrimination provisions and created a new federal agency to enforce them. Nonetheless, sanctions caused widespread discrimination. Now, despite the grave threat of massive discrimination as a result of REAL ID, the law does nothing to prevent or punish illegal or discriminatory DMV actions.
