Yes they can but that's not what is at issue here. Most of us just get slapped with a summons and deal with it later but if your immigration status is questioned then, even if you are a US citizen, you will be detained. A driver's license in the case of many states is not enough.
This could lead to all of us having to carry a passport or national id card. If that's what you want then campaign for it.
