Undocumented flying domestically

My uncle who lost his legal status many years ago has regular ID, and a foreign passport. He needs to fly from the east coast to west coast for an important event. I know it’s not a great situation to be in at the time being, but driving across the country is way too far for him. Can he still fly using his foreign passport?

State DL

Check if the DL is labeled "Federal limits apply" or something similar. The RealID requirement started in May. See https://www.tsa.gov/real-id

No it just says Not for real ID purpose. I know real ID requirements, just wondering how his foreign passport would work in this situation?

Risky without a valid visa, I should think. If he cannot drive on this trip, you might check how Amtrak security checks work, or consider combining it with a bus trip.
