Isn’t the whole point of RealID that it has RFID embedded in it to make it harder to fake? (Edit: No, not all of them do.)
Let’s stop pretending ICE cares about any of it. It’s like asking “Why did Gestapo send this guy to Auschwitz? He had valid papers”.
I don’t think that it has RFID embedded into it (mine doesn’t look like it does when I hold it up to the light).
I think the main thing with Real ID is the standardized identity proofing required to get one, how that identity info is verified, and the fact that the info is shared between states/federal level.
It looks like EDLs all have RFID in them

But it looks like they have come up with a “standard” RealID that does not include the chip.
Ah, okay. I forgot EDL’s were a thing since they weren’t available in my state.
