US EditionGOP criticize Arizona governor's vetoes of immigration bills
- Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed two immigration bills on Friday that aimed to enhance the safety of communities by addressing issues related to criminal illegal immigrants.
- The vetoes follow Hobbs' statement of border security support but conflict with Republican efforts in a Legislature they control but cannot override vetoes.
- Senate Bill 1610 required county jails to provide ICE with information on illegal immigrants arrested for serious crimes, while House Bill 2099 mandated cooperation with federal immigration orders.
- Republicans sharply criticized Hobbs, with State Sen. John Kavanagh calling her vetoes choosing chaos over sanity and the Republican Governors Association denouncing them as a slap in the face to Arizonans.
- Hobbs responded she collaborates productively with the federal government on border security through efforts like Task Force SAFE and Operation Desert Guardian and expects local authorities to uphold the law.
