Arizona Voters to Decide on Criminalizing Illegal Border Crossings
The Arizona House has passed HCR 2060, a measure that will allow local law enforcement to arrest individuals suspected of illegally crossing the border and enable local judges to issue deportation orders. The measure will be on the November ballot for voters to decide. Critics, including Governor Katie Hobbs, argue that it will harm businesses and law enforcement efforts, while supporters claim it is necessary for border enforcement. The measure's implementation depends on the outcome of ongoing legal challenges to a similar Texas law.
