Federal Court Permanently Blocks Arizona Ban on DREAMers’ Licenses

PHOENIX –-(ENEWSPF)–January 23, 2015.  A federal district court judge in Arizona late yesterday permanently blocked a ban on driver’s licenses for immigrant youth ordered by Gov. Jan Brewer. The ruling is the latest in a series of victories for DREAMers in Arizona Dream Act Coalition v. Brewer, a lawsuit brought by civil rights groups challenging the state’s denial of licenses to immigrants who have been granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) under a federal program.
