US immigration authorities plan to issue photo ID cards to immigrants as part of deportation proceedings in a bid to reduce paper use and help people keep track of meetings and required hearings, officials said.

The cards would not be an official form of federal identification and indicate that they are to be used by the Department of Homeland Security.
