Author By: Kira Caspers Protestors rallied outside of the Arizona State Capitol building on March 20 to oppose the Arizona Invasion Act, a pair of house bills that would make illegal immigration a state crime. The act is comprised of House Bills 2748 and 2821 that would authorize local law enforcement to administer federal immigration law and would allow local judges to decide immigration cases. Under the act, civil immunity would be provided to law enforcement for damages that could result from actions taken while enforcing this law.

Katie Hobbs vetoed a bipartisan housing bill that would have made it easier to build affordable housing by changing existing regulations that force developers to build large units on large lots.

Author: Jen Fifield Arizona election officials will begin frequently checking voters’ U.S. citizenship and requiring voters to submit proof of residency when they register, under new laws upheld by a federal judge last week. Under those laws, if the citizenship checks show that someone has an ID typically given to someone who is not a U.S. citizen, they will be barred from registering to vote, or will be kicked off the rolls. And if new registrants don’t provide documents proving they live in the state, they won’t be able to vote in state and local elections. |
