Yes but it is no longer wise to do so.

A Non-US Citizen who is legally in the United States (either as a visitor, LPR (Legal Permanent Resident) or holder of some other valid visa) can travel freely from State-to-State without a passport.

HOWEVER, it is always wise to have with you as some States who are seeing a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment (most notably Arizona, Iowa and, as of January 2011, Maine) either require or authorize authorities to inquire as to Immigration status. So if you are pulled-over or otherwise detained by authorities you may be required to produce this documentation.

If your Passport is expired but your US Visa is still valid (most commonly in cases of LPRs where the 10-year Green Card Expiry exceeds the validity of their national passport) you would be wise to renew your passport but, at least, ensure your Green Card is with you.
