Municipal ID Program Being ‘Crushed’ by Demand From Migrants, City Clerk Says – WTTW (Chicago)

Chicagoans can use the cards to ride the CTA, check out books from the Chicago Public Library and get discounts from local businesses. Anyone who lives in Chicago is eligible for the card, as long as they can prove their date of birth and residency. City Clerk Anna Valencia said her office will issue a city ID card to migrants who present the paperwork they have received from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which allows them to remain in the country while their cases work their way through the courts.
