🚨 The Biden admin is rushing to expand digital IDs for public benefits before time runs out. A new executive order pushes federal agencies to adopt mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) and digital docs for ID verification.
NIST is now tasked with setting standards, pushing federal agencies to sync with state-run digital ID systems. Meanwhile, grant funding is on the table to accelerate mDL rollouts in more states (only 15 have them so far).
The ultimate goal? Fast-track REAL ID adoption, which becomes mandatory for domestic flights this year.
Digital IDs open the door to mass surveillance and government overreach.
