PASADENA, Calif. — Federal appellate judges grilled an attorney for the state Thursday over Arizona’s efforts to deny licenses to “dreamers,” with one suggesting it was nothing short of racism.
Judge Harry Pregerson pointed out that those in the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program have been driving legally since a trial judge ordered the state to reverse its ban and begin issuing them licenses in December.
“We know — at least I know — that no horrible thing has happened on the highways of Arizona since this went into effect,” he said during arguments here.
