Arizona voters passed Proposition 314, a measure that will allow state and local police to arrest people crossing the border outside ports of entry and empower state judges to order deportations. The ballot measure passed with just over 62 percent of the vote. Advocates, including ACLU Arizona and the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, have harshly condemned the measure, warning that it would open the door for racial profiling and harassment for people of color living in Arizona. The law will likely face challenges, as immigration enforcement is a federal power, and similar state laws have been struck down in the past. Arizona is no stranger to constitutionally questionable immigration laws.
