Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs Vetoes ICE Act, Which Would Mandate Law Enforcement Help Facilitate Deportations
2025-04-21
[GatewayPundit] Democrat Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed the ICE Act, which would have mandated state and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal officials to facilitate deportations.
"Abortion Mouse squeaks..."
The legislation, Senate Bill 1164, aimed to have local authorities assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement with identification, detainment, and deportation of illegal aliens.

Additionally, the bill barred any town or city from declaring “Sanctuary” policies that would restrict or hinder ICE actions.

In her veto letter, Hobbs wrote, “Today I vetoed Senate Bill 1164. Arizonans, not Washington, DC politicians, must decide what’s best for Arizona.”

“I will continue to work with the federal government on true border security, but we should not force state and local officials to take marching orders from Washington D.C.,” Hobbs concluded.

Arizona House Democrats publicly celebrated Hobbs overruling the vote of the Republican-controlled legislature.

In a post on X, the House Democrats wrote, “Thank you @GovernorHobbs for the veto on SB1164! Racial profiling, sowing division, fear and trampling on due process rights should have no place in Arizona.”

An estimated 275,000 illegal aliens are living in the state.
