Breaking: Supreme Court bans Arizona from denying 'Dreamers' driver's licenses


The Supreme Court on Monday barred Arizona from denying driver's licenses to young undocumented immigrants often called "Dreamers."

Reuters reported that justices refused to hear the state’s Republican-driven challenge to President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects young people brought into the country illegally as children from deportation.

Their decision lets stand a lower court ruling that blocked the state from denying driver’s licenses to DACA recipients.

The American Civil Liberties Union had sued on behalf of a group of DACA recipients denied licenses.

SCOTUS will find something the left and progressives support, slap it down, and keep the scales balanced!!!

Positive news is a nice change. And another reason to support the ACLU!
