A city in Connecticut has become the first in the United States to issue identity cards to illegal immigrants.
New Haven – best known as the home of Yale University – is offering the cards to all its residents, including to some 12,000 undocumented immigrants.
City leaders say the plan will enable immigrants to open bank accounts and make them less vulnerable to crime.
But the ID card scheme, which comes as some other cities get tough on illegal immigrants, has also prompted protests.
