Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed an executive order, directing state agencies to deny benefits—including driver’s licenses—to deferred action recipients in her state. Brewer says the deferred action program does not give young immigrants legal status, so they should not have access to Arizona driver's licenses.

Brewer's order is a response to the deferred deportation program created in June by U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and directly counters President Obama’s executive order.

CNN’s Rafael Romo explains the backlash since Governor Brewer made the announcement and whether the Justice Department will get involved.
