Dreamers in Arizona have begun receiving driver's licenses after a federal judge vacated an executive order by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. The decision allows the undocumented immigrants with work permits and who have been deferred to apply for the licenses and state identification.

Dreamers lined up outside DMVs all over Arizona on Monday as they waited for their new driver's licenses and state IDs, according to KSAZ. After a two-year long battle, Dreamers in Arizona have won the right to receive these legal documents. People in Phoenix began lining up at 6 a.m. even though the Department of Motor Vehicle office did not open until 8 a.m.

The struggle began in 2012 after President Barack Obama announced the deferred-action program for some undocumented immigrants, explains the Arizona Republic; however, Gov. Brewer blocked the ability for these Dreamers to receive state licenses and IDs.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled her ban was unconstitutional and ordered the state to begin issuing driver's licenses. Without the ban, around 22,000 immigrants are eligible to receive their licenses and IDs.

"Today is a victory. I am thrilled," said Dan Pochoda, senior counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union, one of the organizations involved in the case. "This was spiteful from the beginning. This should have been allowed two years ago. ... There is systemic profiling in our state.

"Not having a license here is a great hardship," he said. "We are not set up with a public transportation system that is easy. With everything spaced out, it can take an individual a long time to get to a location. It's hard when it's groceries ... what if they have to go to a hospital?"

Many of those in line had had previous encounters with law enforcement and had been fined or had cars impounded for driving without licenses. Now that will all change.

According to The New York Times, the Supreme Court decided last week to allow the 9th Circuit's ruling to stand. However, Gov. Brewer may appeal the decision back to the Supreme Court.
