US EditionArizona AG called to resign after comments on ICE and ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws
Arizona's expansive Stand Your Ground law combined with masked ICE agents raises concerns about fatal misidentifications, Attorney General Kris Mayes warned amid growing state tensions.
- On Friday | January 23, 2026, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes warned that the Stand Your Ground law raises risks in Immigration and Customs Enforcement encounters due to Arizona’s many guns.
- Mistaken ICE raids, including one in St. Paul this month, highlight how Arizona's Stand Your Ground law, which allows lethal force if a person reasonably believes their life is in danger, raises risks in encounters, Mayes warned.
- Anti-ICE protests, especially after Renee Good's death, have intensified, while CBS/YouGov polling found a majority view ICE as "too tough" and 47 percent approve of anti-ICE protests.
- Mayes quickly clarified she was not encouraging violence and stressed that shooting peace officers is not allowed when properly identified under Stand Your Ground law and Castle Doctrine.
- Broader context shows overbearing government tactics by Immigration and Customs Enforcement provoke deadly resistance, while jurors and courts show mixed outcomes in no-knock raids involving Henry Goedrich Magee and Marvin Guy.
