By Zachery SchmidtAn Arizona federal judge denied a temporary restraining order to block part of a state law that allows Arizona to protect its border with Mexico. Arizona voters passed Proposition 314 by nearly 63% in 2024. The proposition gives Arizona more legal tools and authority to defend its border against illegal immigrants, as well as increases penalties for fentanyl traffickers whose crimes result in deaths. He added that Proposition 314 is not about illegal immigration, but rather border security. Petersen noted he was not shocked that the ACLU filed a lawsuit against Proposition 314 because the organization is “anti-border security.”
