ACLU asks federal court to block Prop. 314’s border-crossing crime days before it takes effect

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has taken legal action to halt a controversial Arizona law, Prop. 314, which would allow local police and state judges to arrest and deport unauthorized border crossers. This move comes just days before the law was set to take effect, highlighting the intense debate over immigration enforcement. With 61% of voters supporting the measure in 2024, the legal battle underscores a significant clash over state versus federal authority on immigration policy, raising questions about the balance of power and civil liberties.
