Updated 5:23 pm, Wednesday, January 9, 2013 DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The head of Iowa's Transportation Department defended himself Wednesday against criticism over a new policy barring driver's licenses for certain young immigrants allowed by a new federal rule to live in the United States. Iowa Department of Transportation Director Paul Trombino appeared before the Legislature's Administrative Rules Review Committee, which oversees rules created by state agencies. "Shame on the Iowa Department of Transportation for this anti-immigration affront to crush the dreams of young hard-working people who love this country and who have given their heart and soul to be here," she said. The DOT announced in December that it would not issue driver's licenses or identification cards to immigrants brought into the U.S.
