Mayes tells federal court it’s too early to block Prop. 314, says no one has been arrested yet

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes argued in federal court that it's premature to block a new 2024 law permitting local police to arrest unauthorized immigrants since no arrests have been made under it yet. This stance comes amid concerns raised by the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, a nonprofit advocating for immigrant rights. Mayes' comments underscore the ongoing debate over immigration enforcement and the role of local law enforcement in immigration policy, highlighting the complexities and tensions surrounding these issues in Arizona.
