Segment 1: Wyandotte advocates push for municipal IDs to mitigate problems faced by residents without photo identification.
The Safe and Welcoming Wyandotte Ordinance would be the first of its kind in the state of Kansas. The proposed law would provide IDs for those who might not have any and establish boundaries and guidelines for local authorities' relations with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Advocates say a local ID like this could help approximately 30,000 people in the area with things like banking, doctor's office visits and entering a child's school.
