A group of Latino and immigrant advocacy organizations are appealing a judge's approval of Proposition 314, a GOP ballot measure that would allow local police to jail migrants. The proposal mirrors a Texas immigration law under constitutional scrutiny and makes it a state crime for migrants to cross Arizona's southern border at locations other than official ports of entry, with first-time offenders facing up to six months in jail.
Last month, Arizona Republicans advanced Proposition 314, titled the "Secure the Border Act," to the November ballot.
