Advocates for “dreamers” are urging the nation’s high court to reject Arizona’s last-ditch bid to take away their licenses to drive.
In new legal brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, attorneys for various groups are asking the justices to leave undisturbed an appellate court ruling which concluded the state acted illegally in refusing to issue licenses to those accepted into the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said DACA recipients are in this country legally. More to the point, the judges said Arizona has no right to unilaterally decide the issue of legal presence for itself.
