HB2748, if passed and signed into law, would authorize state and local police to arrest migrants suspected of crossing the border illegally. Opponents call the bill a copycat of a similar law in Texas that is now the subject of a lawsuit.
Should state and local police be able to arrest migrants suspected of crossing the country illegally? That’s the question at the heart of a proposed bill at the Arizona State Capitol. The Republican-sponsored bill closely resembles a Texas law that is currently tied up in a national legal battle with whip-lash rulings. If passed, House Bill 2748 would authorize state and local police to arrest migrants suspected of crossing the border illegally.
During a State Senate committee hearing that was held to discuss the bill, Democratic Party lawmakers got up and left in protest. State Senator Rosanna Gaboldon said she didn’t see the point of discussing HB2748. "Why do we need to sit through more testimony, knowing these bills are unconstitutional and will be vetoed by the governor?" said State Sen. Gabaldon .
