Arizona Supreme Court to Hear Appeal on Controversial Border-Control Ballot Measure

Activists argue the proposed law violates constitutional rules and could lead to racial profiling and increased policing costs.

The measure, HCR 2060, would criminalize illegal border crossings and increase penalties for fentanyl sales resulting in death.
Activist groups claim the proposal violates the single-subject rule required for ballot measures.
Supporters argue the measure addresses border security and should be decided by voters.
Opponents fear the law could lead to racial profiling and significant financial burdens on local governments.
The court's decision is expected between late July and mid-August, ahead of the November ballot printing.
