A federal judge on Friday blocked illegal immigrants in the new “deferred action” program from arguing in court they are being “irreparably harmed” by the refusal of Gov. Jan Brewer to let them have Arizona drivers’ licenses.
Judge David Campbell agreed to a request by the attorneys for the five individual plaintiffs in the lawsuit that they should not be questioned about how they obtained work or are driving. He said that issue is irrelevant to their legal claims that they are being denied equal rights or that the directive issued by the governor denying them licenses is preempted by federal law.
But Campbell said challengers cannot have it both ways.
