The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit recently ordered the State of Arizona to put an end to its policy of denying driver’s licenses to individuals who were granted Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (“DACA”).
In an unanimous ruling, the 9th Circuit stated that Arizona’s policy of denying driver’s licenses was unconstitutional since it violated the Equal Protection Clause. The 9th Circuit’s ruling was a huge victory for young DREAMers in Arizona in need of a driver’s license to drive to school and to work.
