Ducey sidesteps decision on driver licenses for 'dreamers'

PHOENIX — Gov. Doug Ducey’s repeated assertions that he is not the one fighting to keep “deferred action’’ recipients from getting licenses to drive are not true, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Mark Brnovich said Friday.

Since taking office two years ago, Ducey has refused to overturn a 2012 executive order by predecessor Jan Brewer denying licenses to those who are in this country illegally but allowed to remain and work under policies of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

A federal appeals court already has enjoined as unconstitutional part of that order covering “dreamers;’’ a separate lawsuit by other deferred action recipients still being denied licenses by Ducey’s Department of Transportation is making its way through trial court in Phoenix.

During the last year Ducey has repeatedly sidestepped question from Capitol Media Services about his decision to leave Brewer’s order in place. The governor said Brnovich’s office is pursuing the issue and he wants to see what the courts ultimately rule.
