So, then how? Now it gets really spooky.
> Article says he was using a fake driver’s license, so I don’t think he would have been in the DMV databases.
I’d guess it was a real DL under his assumed identity. In the old days you could forge a fake birth certificate fairly easy and fool the clerks. Its not nearly as easy now. The illegals are usually only able to get drivers licenses under false identities by going to other DMV employees that are on the take or are family members. Walk into many DMV offices and look who’s working there. Usually lots of minorities and a few white people but not many unless they are in administration. You hear about identity theft rings comprised of DMV employees that are busted from time to time...
Maybe he applied for an EBT card or something and they took his picture? It does say he had filled out some sort of “official documents”.
