PHOENIX (AP) - Lawyers for Gov. Jan Brewer are urging a judge to reject a request to block Arizona from enforcing the governor's order that denies driver's licenses for young immigrants who have gotten work permits and avoided deportation under a new Obama administration policy.

Brewer's lawyers say the Obama administration policy doesn't have the same trumping effect of federal law and that those pushing the lawsuit didn't support their allegation that they can't attend to their daily needs without a license.
