GOP threatens 2026 ballot measure after Hobbs vetoes Arizona ICE Act
Despite multiple cases of U.S. citizens being wrongfully detained, Republican lawmakers in Arizona want to force law enforcement agencies, city officials and even school leaders to make it easier for ICE to deport people — and they're threatening to go to the ballot to do it.
Last week, Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a GOP priority bill, known as the Arizona ICE Act, that sought to force state and local cooperation with federal immigration authorities. On Monday, Republican backers of the bill lashed out at the Democratic governor's rejection of that idea, and warned that the legislation might return in 2026.
Senate President Warren Petersen, who sponsored the bill, lambasted Hobbs for playing 'political games' and said the bill's backers are considering going to voters next year to circumvent her veto stamp.

Senate Bill 1164 would have mandated that every police department and sheriff's office in the state comply with ICE detainers. Also known as immigration holds, detainers are written requests from ICE to law enforcement agencies to hold a person in custody for an extra 48 hours after their scheduled release time — even if that person hasn't been convicted of any crime — to determine whether they're eligible for deportation.
Hobbs vetoes Republican bill that would have brought ICE agents into Arizona schools
Under the vetoed legislation, law enforcement agencies that didn't follow its mandates could have faced investigations and lawsuits from the Arizona attorney general.
ICE detainers have become a focus of GOP politicians in multiple states, despite the murky legal basis behind them that has led to U.S. citizens being forced to endure prolonged imprisonment.
Detainers don't require probable cause and are often erroneously issued. Just last week, a Georgia native spent the night in a Florida jail under an ICE hold, despite his mother showing a judge his birth certificate. The judge said she was powerless to release the man because Florida law requires law enforcement agencies to comply with ICE detainers.
And that case isn't an isolated or recent occurrence either: between 2002 and 2017, ICE wrongly identified as many as 2,840 U.S. citizens as being eligible for deportation.
The Arizona ICE Act also sought to bar state government, city councils, law enforcement agencies and even school boards from adopting any policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It is currently optional for Arizona law enforcement agencies to comply with ICE detainers
Some cities and law enforcement agencies in other states have passed ordinances or chosen to refuse to obey ICE detainers, in light of court rulings that determined imprisoning people beyond their scheduled release date is unconstitutional and lawsuits filed after detainers were issued against U.S. citizens..
During an April 21 news conference, Petersen pointed to the success of the Secure Border Act as proof that Arizonans both want the state to take a more active role in enforcing federal immigration laws and would welcome the Arizona ICE Act.
'Arizona's voters spoke loud and clear last November when they overwhelmingly passed the Secure the Border Act,' he said.
Neary 63% of Arizona voters cast their ballots last year in favor of Proposition 314, the Secure Border Act. Republicans sent that proposal to the ballot after Hobbs vetoed similar legislation. Along with enacting new penalties for the sale of lethal fentanyl and the use of false documentation to apply for jobs or public benefits, the act made it a state crime for migrants to cross the southern border anywhere but at an official port of entry.
Since its passage, Republicans have touted it as a voter mandate and latched onto it as the motivation behind the party's aggressive border policies.
Petersen sold the Arizona ICE Act as a bid to support President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda and he linked immigrants with criminality to justify tightened relationships between local and federal authorities.
'Gang members, child sex traffickers, murderers, rapists, drug dealers, human smugglers and terrorists were allowed to freely walk across our borders into the United States under the Biden administration,' he said. 'President Trump has finally come to put a stop to this madness.'
Encounters at the country's southern border reached record highs during the Biden administration, but federal immigration authorities responded by ramping up deportation efforts. Between January 2021 and November 2024, approximately 4.6 million people were expelled from the country. By comparison, Trump oversaw 2.1 million removals during his first term.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials estimated that the majority of people encountered at the country's southwest border between February 2021 and October 2023 were removed.
Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes, a Republican who oversees a county that is more than four hours away from the Arizona-Mexico border and who has been a frequent proponent of anti-immigrant legislation, also claimed that the Arizona ICE Act simply seeks to ensure that people who have committed crimes are detained.
'You have very bad people that live in communities that just haven't been caught yet, and they're subject to removal,' he said.
Proponents of the Arizona ICE Act have frequently employed xenophobic language to frame immigrants as criminals and call for the legislation's passage.
Advocates claim that compliance with ICE detainers will keep such criminals off the street, despite evidence that the vast majority of detainers are actually issued for non-violent offenses. An analysis of detainers issued in the first two months of the Trump administration by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse found that 72% of people who were subject to an ICE detainer had no previous criminal record.
And out of the 17,972 ICE holds, only 30 were targeted at convicted rapists and just 65 were issued for people who committed murder.
Petersen waved off concerns about due process violations because of wrongly issued detainers, saying that he trusts law enforcement agents to do their best.
Plus, he said, we should expect the police will make errors, and it's not a big deal when they make mistakes.
'Any time law enforcement is in a situation, there's a potential that they don't enforce the law properly, so that's no different than any other situation,' he said. 'Of course, law enforcement gets it right 99% of the time. Sometimes they don't, and there's consequences to that: litigation and the government ends up settling a lawsuit. But I trust law enforcement to properly enforce the law almost all of the time.'
If the Arizona ICE Act ends up on the ballot and voters approve it, taxpayers may have to foot the bill for legal challenges that arise from unconstitutional detainments.
The legislation also presents other costs that the GOP-majority legislature has yet to address. Along with requiring local sheriffs offices and police departments to hold onto people in custody for longer than the initial arrest warrants, the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry would also be required to house people under an ICE hold.
A fiscal impact report by legislative budget analysts concluded that, while some of the expenses could be covered by the federal government, new costs for the Department of Corrections, the Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement agencies could still be incurred. Additionally, the state would have to pay for any investigations and lawsuits launched by the state attorney general to enforce the bill's mandates.
Before lawmakers send the Arizona ICE Act to the 2026 ballot, they would first need to identify a way to pay for its expected costs. The Arizona Constitution requires ballot measures that are projected to increase government spending to come up with funding that isn't pulled from the state's general operating fund.
Whether they will actually do so is an open question. Last year, GOP lawmakers failed to account for that issue when they sent the Secure Border Act to the ballot, and are now facing a lawsuit that could potentially invalidate it.
But, according to Petersen, there is no funding shortfall in the Arizona ICE Act.
'There's no costs to honoring a detainer,' he said.
In her veto letter, Hobbs said her biggest issue with the Arizona ICE Act was that it gave federal immigration authorities unfettered power over how local officials and law enforcement agencies approach the enforcement of immigration laws, forcing them to comply even if they disagree with the White House's directives.
It's bad public policy, she said, to 'tie the hands' of law enforcement officials.
'Arizonans, not Washington, DC politicians, must decide what's best for Arizona,' the Democrat wrote.
But Rhodes defended the proposal as necessary to ensure that city council officials don't wade into law enforcement issues.
'We do not need the (local) governments putting wedges or barriers in between information sharing or cooperation between (law enforcement) agencies,' he said.
Rhodes, who is serving his second term as sheriff of Arizona's most Republican county, said that the state needs to step in when other sheriffs choose to limit their cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
'The state should be telling those sheriffs: If you have somebody in your custody and that person has committed a crime, particularly a violent crime, and they are subject to removal from this country, they must notify the immigration authorities,' he said.

Trump moves to use the levers of presidential power to help his party in the 2026 midterms
President Donald Trump has made clear in recent weeks that he's willing to use the vast powers of his office to prevent his party from losing control of Congress in next year's midterm elections. Some of the steps Trump has taken to intervene in the election are typical, but controversial, political maneuvers taken to his trademark extremes. That includes pushing Republican lawmakers in Texas and other conservative-controlled states to redraw their legislative maps to expand the number of U.S. House seats favorable to the GOP. Others involve the direct use of official presidential power in ways that have no modern precedent, such as ordering his Department of Justice to investigate the main liberal fundraising entity, ActBlue. The department also is demanding the detailed voter files from each state in an apparent attempt to look for ineligible voters on a vast scale. And on Monday, Trump posted a falsehood-filled rant on social media pledging to lead a 'movement' to outlaw voting machines and mail balloting, the latter of which has become a mainstay of Democratic voting since Trump pushed Republicans to avoid it in 2020 — before flipping on the issue ahead of last year's presidential election. The individual actions add up to an unprecedented attempt by a sitting president to interfere in a critical election before it's even held, moves that have raised alarms among those concerned about the future of U.S. democracy. 'Those are actions that you don't see in healthy democracies,' said Ian Bassin, executive director of Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan organization that has sued the Trump administration. 'Those are actions you see in authoritarian states.' Trump has already tried to overturn an election Bassin noted that presidents routinely stump for their party in midterm elections and try to bolster incumbents by steering projects and support to their districts. But he said Trump's history is part of what's driving alarm about the midterms. He referenced Trump's attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, which ended with a violent assault on the Capitol by his supporters. 'The one thing we know for certain from experience in 2020 is that this is a person who will use every measure and try every tactic to stay in power, regardless of the outcome of an election,' Bassin said. He noted that in 2020, Trump was checked by elected Republicans in Congress and statehouses who refused to bend the rules, along with members of his own administration and even military leaders who distanced themselves from the defeated incumbent. In his second term, the president has locked down near-total loyalty from the GOP and stacked the administration with loyalists. The incumbent president's party normally loses seats in Congress during midterm elections. That's what happened to Trump in 2018, when Democrats won enough seats to take back the House of Representatives, stymieing the president's agenda and eventually leading to his two impeachments. Trump has said he doesn't want a repeat. He also has argued that his actions are actually attempts to preserve democracy. Repeating baseless allegations of fraud, he said Monday during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that 'you can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots.' Earlier this month, Trump said that, because he handily won Texas in the 2024 presidential election, 'we are entitled to five more seats.' An attempt to engineer GOP control of the US House Republicans currently have a three-seat margin in the House of Representatives. Trump pushed Texas Republicans to redraw their congressional map to create up to five new winnable GOP seats and is lobbying other red states, including Indiana and Missouri, to take similar steps to pad the margin even more. The Texas Legislature is likely to vote on its map on Wednesday. There's no guarantee that Trump's gambit will work, but also no legal prohibition against fiddling with maps in those states for partisan advantage. In response, California Democrats are moving forward with their own redistricting effort as a way to counter Republicans in Texas. Mid-decade map adjustments have happened before, though usually in response to court orders rather than presidents openly hoping to manufacture more seats for their party. Larry Diamond, a political scientist at Stanford University, said there's a chance the redrawing of House districts won't succeed as Trump anticipates — but could end up motivating Democratic voters. Still, Diamond said he's concerned. 'It's the overall pattern that's alarming and that the reason to do this is for pure partisan advantage,' he said of Trump's tactic. Diamond noted that in 2019 he wrote a book about a '12-step' process to turn a democracy into an autocracy, and 'the last step in the process is to rig the electoral process.' The Justice Department acts on Trump's priorities Trump has required loyalty from all levels of his administration and demanded that the Department of Justice follow his directives. One of those was to probe ActBlue, an online portal that raised hundreds of millions of dollars in small-dollar donations for Democratic candidates over two decades. The site was so successful that Republicans launched a similar venture, called WinRed. Trump, notably, did not order a federal probe into WinRed. Trump's appointees at the Department of Justice also have demanded voting data from at least 19 states, as Trump continues to insist he actually won the 2020 election and proposed a special prosecutor to investigate that year's vote tally. Much as he did before winning the 2024 election, Trump has baselessly implied that Democrats may rig upcoming vote counts against him. In at least two of those states, California and Minnesota, the DOJ followed up with election officials last week, threatening legal action if they didn't hand over their voter registration lists by this Thursday, according to letters shared with The Associated Press. Neither state — both controlled by Democrats — has responded publicly. Attempts to interfere with voting and elections Trump's threat this week to end mail voting and do away with voting machines is just his latest attempt to sway how elections are run. An executive order he signed earlier this year sought documented proof of citizenship to register to vote, among other changes, though much of it has been blocked by courts. In the days leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol to reverse his 2020 loss, Trump's allies proposed having the military seize voting machines to investigate purported fraud, even though Trump's own attorney general said there was no evidence of significant wrongdoing. The Constitution says states and Congress, rather than the president, set the rules for elections, so it's unclear what Trump could do to make his promises a reality. But election officials saw them as an obvious sign of his 2026 interests. 'Let's see this for what it really is: An attempt to change voting going into the midterms because he's afraid the Republicans will lose,' wrote Ann Jacobs, the Democratic chair of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, on X. The president has very few levers to influence an election Derek Muller, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, said the idea of seizing voting machines in 2020 was a sign of how few levers the president has to influence an election, not of his power. Under the U.S. Constitution, elections are run by states and only Congress can 'alter' the procedures — and, even then, for federal races alone. 'It's a deeply decentralized system,' Muller said. There are fewer legal constraints on presidential powers, such as criminal investigations and deployment of law enforcement and military resources, Muller noted. But, he added, people usually err in forecasting election catastrophes. He noted that in 2022 and 2024, a wide range of experts braced for violence, disruption and attempts to overturn losses by Trump allies, and no serious threats materialized. 'One lesson I've learned in decades of doing this is people are often preparing for the last election rather than what actually happens in the new ones,' Muller said. ___

Curtis Sliwa's quality-of-life crackdown makes sense. But he still won't be the next mayor of New York City
Will Curtis Sliwa have any regrets if he wakes up on November 5 and Zohran Mamdani is the new mayor of New York — knowing he could have stepped aside and cleared the crowded campaign field that many fear will split the vote? 'Nope,' the Republican candidate told me. So he's not willing to sacrifice his candidacy to save the city he loves from socialism? Advertisement 'That's based on the idea that everyone is going to go over and vote Cuomo. Ain't happening. They hate Cuomo. I'm in the streets every day. All I hear is 'slapping fannies and killing grannies.' He's never apologized,' Sliwa said of Andrew Cuomo's Covid and #MeToo scandals. 8 Curtis Sliwa regularly campaigns in the subways he's patrolled as a Guardian Angel for decades. Debra L Rothenberg/Shutterstock Meanwhile, a new AARP poll shows Mamdani's support at 42% among registered voters; Cuomo is at 23%, fellow independent Adams is at 9%, and Sliwa claims 16%. It would stand to reason the three need to become one to beat the Democratic socialist. Advertisement But Sliwa says it isn't happening. 'Nobody is getting out. Cuomo isn't, [Eric] Adams isn't. Every day there's a discussion about dropping out, that's a good day for Mamdani,' Sliwa said. I met with the 71-year-old at his Midtown campaign headquarters. While he's been an NYC tabloid figure since the late 1970s, when he launched the civilian crime-fighting group the Guardian Angels, he's lately been almost unrecognizable — taking off his signature red beret in meetings to look more like a serious politician. 8 Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist, is leading the crowded field in the mayoral race. James Keivom Advertisement The thing is, I love everything Sliwa has to say, especially about quality-of-life crackdowns. He wants to cut taxes, ditch congestion pricing and tackle the costly epidemic of fare evasion. 'I laugh when Mamdani says 'free bus fare' and everyone is having a heart attack. I said, 'Hold on, people aren't paying in the first place. Why don't we just enforce the fare?'' Sliwa said. 'Adams didn't do it. Cuomo didn't do it. We need a no-tolerance policy.' 8 Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent, is not performing well in polls. REUTERS Advertisement Can I get an amen? Like Mamdani, Sliwa speaks about affordability, especially for younger New Yorkers who cannot 'afford the American dream anymore. They're in their 30s and still living in a dormitory' — I think he means they have a lot of roommates — 'yet they have a professional career and make good money.' Unlike the photogenic Mamdani, the Republican is not offering a buffet of cockamamie socialist policy 'solutions.' But in this crowded field, I don't think Sliwa has a shot at taking down Mamdani and his dangerous DSA ideology. He wholeheartedly disagrees. 'I have a very good shot.' 8 Curtis Sliwa regularly campaigns on the subway, calling it the 'best focus group of all. All it costs you is a swipe.' Debra L Rothenberg/Shutterstock The last time Sliwa ran for mayor, in 2021, the city was lumbering through the Covid cloud. He lost to Eric Adams and earned only 27.8% of the vote. 'I feel I can start with about 28%,' Sliwa said, 'and if I can get up to 32, 33, 34%, I'll be the next mayor of New York City.' Advertisement This time around, his campaign is pushing early voting, trying to court Millennials and Gen Z-ers who aren't drunk on Mamdani's 'everything is free' socialist brew — and reaching out to Muslim voters. Mamdani is far, far more progressive than most Muslims in the city. But Sliwa believes many conservative Muslims are turned off by cultural attacks from some politicians on the right, like Marjorie Taylor Greene. Last month, the representative from Georgia shared a meme of the Statue of Liberty covered in a burka. Because of insults like that, 'Some feel compelled to support Mamdani,' said Sliwa. 8 Curtis Sliwa has been a tabloid staple since the late 1970s, when he started the Guardian Angels. Bettmann Archive Advertisement Still — 'All the halal and coffee wagons, Uber drivers are all capitalists. I'm working on them to vote for me.' Sliwa blames Adams and his cronyism scandals for the rise of Mamdani. As for Cuomo, 'He told a group in the Hamptons that he's moving to Florida if he loses. He's waving a white flag,' alleged the Canarsie native. Despite reports, Sliwa said President Trump hasn't offered him a job in Washington to get him out of the race — nor has Trump called the Republican candidate to offer support. 8 Curtis Sliwa has started removing his signature red beret during some campaign meetings. James Messerschmidt for NY Post Advertisement Sliwa is non-plussed. 'I believe the president has far more serious issues to deal with, like peace in Ukraine and, if he can — and he alone can — resolving the Gaza situation.' As we wrap up our interview, Sliwa puts on his hat and we venture down Sixth Avenue. The red beret is like a beacon, attracting a Midtown crowd. One man taps him for a selfie. A group of blue-collar workers abandon their spot in a lunch-truck line to shake his hand and wish him luck. A smartly dressed woman in her 50s flags him down. A black man calls out in heavily-accented English from behind the wheel of a black SUV: 'Curtis, I've always wanted to meet you!' Advertisement 8 Curtis Sliwa said New York voters haven't forgiven Andrew Cuomo and that he's never apologized for his personal and professional scandals. Matthew McDermott 8 Curtis Sliwa and his wife Nancy are passionate about cats and animal rights. Matthew McDermott A union plumber who grew up in Staten Island jumped off a bench to offer his support. He and his colleagues said they would vote for Sliwa … but they all moved out to the 'burbs during Covid because the city was too dirty, too crime-ridden and too expensive. It's a familiar refrain. Sliwa wants to save the city — are there enough voters left who want to as well?

Trump's Bizarre Mail-In Voting Claim Sparks Reactions
President Donald Trump attacked mail-in voting on Monday with an anecdote about one of his own trips to the ballot box that included a very unlikely detail.
