The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a request to review a decision that requires Arizona to provide “Dreamers” with driver’s licenses.
The court will not review a ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that prohibited the state from denying driver’s licenses to Dreamers, the name given to those who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children and protected from the threat of deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The court’s decision means the 9th Circuit ruling will remain in place.
The state of Arizona had argued the 9th Circuit erred when it ruled “an executive branch memorandum can preempt state law.”
The case dates back to 2012, when the Obama administration implemented the DACA program, which protects illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children from the threat of deportation and grants them work authorization.
