    AP: Wyandotte County to offer local IDs to immigrants, others

    KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Wyandotte County will begin offering municipal photo IDs to immigrants and other vulnerable residents after county commissioners approved the move in a split vote.

    KCUR reports that the Unified Government of Wyandotte County board voted 6-4 Thursday night to offer the IDs under what was dubbed the “Safe and Welcoming Wyandotte Act.” The measure will allow immigrants, the homeless, the elderly and others without ready access to state-issued photo IDs to get a local photo ID.

    The move was backed by a coalition of advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and the Immigrant Justice Advocacy Movement.
