HUGHES, J.

In this appeal, the State of Louisiana challenges, on the basis of federal preemption by the "REAL ID Act,"1 the granting of a motion to quash a bill of information, which charged the defendant with unlawful presence in this country in violation of LSA-R.S. 14:100.13. For the reasons that follow, we reverse the trial court's ruling granting the motion to quash and remand for further proceedings.
