Where Orgs Stand

Louisiana Trans AdvocatesOPPOSE

This bill would require Louisiana driver's licenses and state IDs to display an image indicating whether the cardholder is a U.S. citizen. If enacted, citizens would receive IDs marked with the eagle, while people without citizenship status would receive IDs without the symbol, creating a visible distinction on state IDs. This could negatively affect immigrants by making their status easier to identify in everyday situations, such as employment verification, housing, or interactions with law enforcement, increasing the risk of discrimination.
