U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Trial Arizona must renew driver's licenses for "dream students."

China News Network, March 20, the United States "World Journal" published an article said that the U.S. Supreme Court on the 19th refused to hear Arizona's legal challenge to the "Childhood Arrival deferral repatriation program" (DACA), making Arizona must continue to issue driver's licenses for "dream students".

Former President Barack Obama's 2012 DACA plan to protect "dreamers" from deportation and work permits was repealed by President Trump last September.

After a lower federal court ruled prohibiting Arizona from refusing to issue a driver's license to a Dreamer, the Republican-run Arizona appealed, but the Supreme Court declined to hear it.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which sued Arizona on behalf of immigrants, said two arizona governors have repeatedly run into walls at all levels of the federal justice system after years of trying to deny "dreamers" a driver's license. The Supreme Court's Feb. 26 refusal to hear a request to end DACA forced the Trump administration to continue upholding the program.

After the Obama administration proposed the DACA plan, Jane Brewer, a Republican who was Governor of Arizona at the time, ordered a ban on Arizona to prevent "Dreamers" from applying for an Arizona driver's license. Arizona stipulates that non-U.S. citizens must prove that their status in the United States is legal, such as a valid federal work permit, in order to apply for an Arizona driver's license, but Arizona does not accept work permits from "dreamers."

Arizona is the only state in the country that refuses to issue a driver's license to a "dreamer," and the ACLU files a complaint on behalf of the "dreamer" whose application was rejected. San Francisco's Ninth Circuit Court ruled last year rejecting Arizona's policy, arguing that Arizona has no authority to prescribe a definition of immigration and that the power to make immigration policy is with the federal government.

Arizona appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that the Ninth Circuit's ruling was a disregard for Arizona's sovereignty. Arizona said in the indictment that daca policy was established by the Department of Homeland Security in the form of a memorandum, did not go through a formal decision-making process by the federal department, and was not legislated in Congress, so it could not replace the state's driver's license laws.
