Arizona Governor Vetoes Bill Allowing Police to Arrest Migrants


Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill that would have allowed state police to arrest undocumented immigrants, citing concerns about its potential harm to communities and businesses, as well as its burden on law enforcement. The bill, known as the Arizona Border Invasion Act, aimed to make crossing the border without authorization a state crime and expand law enforcement powers. Critics viewed the bill as anti-immigrant and possibly unconstitutional. The veto comes amid election-year tensions over border security and a surge in migrants crossing the southern border. The governor's action is expected to clash with other border-focused bills in the coming weeks.
