Young undocumented immigrants who are eligible to legally work in the U.S. under the Obama administration's deferred action program will not be issued driver's licenses in Iowa, the state's transportation officials announced Tuesday.

President Barack Obama announced a policy change in June that lets certain undocumented immigrants apply for a temporary work permit if they were brought to the country as children.
