Arizona Dream Act supporters ready for legal battle against state services ban
State governor Jan Brewer signed executive order contradicting Obama's plan to benefit young undocumented migrants
Immigrant rights groups are gearing up for a legal and political fight in Arizona after the state's hardline Republican governor issued an order that bans young immigrants, spared deportation under a new federal initiative, from getting driver's licences and other state benefits.
