PHOENIX — Arizona voters will now decide on a ballot measure that would allow local law enforcement to arrest people suspected of illegally crossing the border and local judges to issue deportation orders.
The Arizona Senate passed the measure on May 22 after amending it to specify that law enforcement must have probable cause – such as witnessing a crossing or having video evidence – to make an arrest. And the border-crossing provision will not apply to anyone who crosses the border without authorization before the law takes effect.Email us: share@abc15.comThe proposal is based on Texas Senate Bill 4, a law that similarly makes it a state crime to enter Texas illegally.
In addition to making illegal border crossings a state offense, HCR 2060 includes provisions that make it a crime to submit false paperwork to state and local agencies when applying for public benefits or to an employer and strengthen the penalty for fentanyl sales in cases where someone has died.
