A simple translation to condp:

(defn parse-group [group-identifier line]
  (condp = group-identifier
    "ID1" (handle-id1 line)
    "ID2" (handle-id2 line)
    "ID3" (handle-id3 line)))

But you may want something more extensible:

(def group-handlers
  {"ID1" handle-id1,
   "ID2" handle-id2,
   "ID3" handle-id3})

(defn parse-group [group-identifier line]
  (if-let [handler (group-handlers group-identifier)]
    (handler line)
    (println "unknown group identifier")))

A multimethod might also be an appropriate way forward for you.
