A federal judge on Thursday refused to immediately order state gaming officials to give the go-ahead for the Tohono O’odham Nation to operate a full-scale casino on the edge of Glendale.

A judge is being asked to order Arizona officials to issue licenses that will allow a tribal casino in Glendale to open.

Gov. Doug Ducey and Attorney General Mark Brnovich are active participants in trying to block a West Valley casino and should be held accountable in court, an attorney for the Tohono O’odham Nation is charging.

A federal judge has slapped down much of the effort by the state to force the Tohono O’odham Nation to produce more documents in Arizona’s fight to stop the tribe from opening a new casino near Glendale.

Saying the president acted illegally, an attorney for the state wants appellate judges to once again allow the director of the Arizona Department of Transportation to refuse to issue licenses to “dreamers.”

The question of whether “dreamers” can keep their Arizona driver’s licenses could depend on who a federal judge believes first came up with the idea to reject them.

Forced to surrender on “dreamers,” Gov. Jan Brewer is denying licenses to drive to a potentially more vulnerable group of migrants: domestic violence victims.

Supreme Court decision could reach a broader group affected by President Obama's executive order on immigration

Arizona dreamers went to bed Tuesday night still not knowing if the U.S. Supreme Court will allow them to drive legally. But what the justices think, at least now, may not matter. If they do not act, then the legal wheels start in motion and the state will be told to start issuing licenses.

Supporters of a 2011 Arizona ban on race- and gender-based abortions want a federal appeals court to rule that a woman’s right to an abortion can be trumped because of the reason she wants it.
