US Citizen Detained by ICE and Told His REAL ID Is 'Fake'

Leonardo García Venegas, a Florida-born U.S. citizen with a REAL ID, was forcibly arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at an Alabama construction site after agents claimed his identification was "fake," Venegas told Noticias Telemundo in Spanish on Friday.

REAL ID cards (we were told they were foolproof) just became — on May 7 — officially required to fly on commercial airlines and to enter certain federal buildings in the U.S. 

And now, less than a month later, ICE is claiming this guy's REAL ID is fake? I'd like to know how many other fake ones are floating around already. Am I going to need another ID to prove my REAL ID is real?

Or is there something unreal about ICE?
