A judge said San Francisco can issue identification cards to illegal immigrants.

A San Francisco Superior Court judge tossed out a lawsuit filed by Immigration Reform Law Institute of Washington D.C. seeking to bar the city program, which would provide identification to anyone who has lived in the city for more than 15 days regardless of immigration status.

City officials have delayed implementing the program until ensuring it complies with state and federal law. The city's immigration policies have come under fire after San Francisco officials shielded juvenile criminals from deportation.
