ATLANTA — A group of immigrants whose legal residency is disputed sued Georgia’s state government Monday for refusing to issue them driver’s licenses. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the federal lawsuit accuses the Georgia Department of Driver Services of violating the constitutional rights of the plaintiffs, who were not named in the court filings. The immigrants had been ordered deported, but they are either seeking to have their removals suspended or come from countries that will not allow their return.
