Yeah but the laws of this country apply to anyone present here not just a citizen as is the case in most every other nation so far as I am aware.
So the guy was an illegal he'll most likely serve jail time for the DUI ICE will also more than likely charge him with being in the country illegally and depending on the situation he'll be sent back to Mexico and he may or may not serve jail time for being an illegal first.
I am not an expert on the CA law but I have no doubt that the federal laws supersede anything that CA allows so ICE will still go after any illegal even if they have a CA drivers license.I suspect that the driving force(pun intended) behind the CA drivers for illegals was insurance companies gives them more customers if illegals can get a license because then they have to have some kind of insurance.That and people want votes which is why it had strong support from Republicans according to that article.
