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

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes argues it is too early to block a 2024 law (Prop. 314) allowing local police to arrest unauthorized immigrants because no arrests under the law have occurred yet. The Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project sued the law, claiming it conflicts with federal authority, but Mayes and Republican lawmakers defend it, stating the law's most controversial provision (Section 5) has not been enforced due to a delayed effective date tied to a Texas law.
