- ACLU asks federal court to block Prop. 314’s border-crossing crime days before it takes effect
The ACLU is suing to block Arizona's Prop. 314, which criminalizes unauthorized border crossings and empowers state authorities to enforce immigration laws, arguing it conflicts with federal jurisdiction. The law, approved by 61% of voters in 2024, faces legal challenges similar to Arizona's previous SB1070 law, which was partially struck down by the Supreme Court in 2012.
