Nonprofit Caught on Video Handing Residency Papers to Man Without ID
20th March 2024
A nonprofit organization dedicated to “assisting migrants with their paperwork and legal needs” in New York City has been caught on video illegally filling out residency documents for a man without procuring any form of identification from him.
Video shot by Muckraker.com and obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project appears to show the nonprofit organization, La Jornada, saying that distributing such documents is against the law but then proceeding to do so with another person the next day. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news and commentary outlet.)
The video also shows the organization distributing paperwork to get a government-issued New York City identification card through the city’s IDNYC program.
