Once again, they forgot the word Illegal.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - Local officials say federal immigration agents have arrested 29 people for deportation in New Haven, Connecticut.

The raid came two days after aldermen approved ID cards that could help illegal immigrants. The officials question the timing of the raid.

But a spokeswoman for the Boston office of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it was a routine fugitive operation that was not associated with the vote.

The all-purpose municipal identification cards will allow anyone to open bank accounts and use other services that may be unavailable without driver's licenses or state-issued identification cards.

Supporters say the ID program will improve safety for illegal immigrants.
