The battle over a proposed border initiative in Arizona continues as immigrant advocates have filed notice to the state Supreme Court to appeal a judge's ruling. The advocates argue that the initiative, which is set to appear on the Nov. 5 ballot, violates the single-subject provision as it addresses multiple unrelated provisions.
The proposed initiative, supported by the GOP-controlled Legislature, seeks to allow local law enforcement to arrest migrants crossing illegally from Mexico into Arizona between ports of entry. Additionally, the measure would grant state judges the authority to order individuals convicted of this offense to return to their home countries.
