After examination a total of 24 counterfeit state drivers licenses were seized by Chicago CBP officers.

The seized licenses are high quality counterfeits of identification for the states of Illinois, Ohio, South Dakota, New Jersery, Florida, Georgia and Pennsylvania. The majority of the fake license shipments were addressed to college students throughout the United States. Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are conducting investigations regarding some of the intended recipients.
