Border state Arizona backs having local law enforcement arrest suspected illegal immigrants
Fox News
Voters in Arizona have approved a measure that would allow local police to arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the state from Mexico.
The proposal won't go into effect immediately, requiring a similar law in Texas or another state to be in effect for 60 consecutive days before a violator can be prosecuted.
Republican lawmakers in Arizona argued the proposal would help secure the border after the Biden administration dealt with an unprecedented surge of illegal immigration.
