Arizona Voters to Decide on Controversial Border Security Measure

Proposition 314, which includes immigration enforcement and fentanyl trafficking provisions, will appear on the November ballot despite opposition.

The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that Proposition 314 meets the single-subject rule, allowing it to be put to a vote.
The measure would allow state and local law enforcement to arrest individuals crossing the border illegally and impose penalties for fentanyl trafficking.
Opponents argue the proposition promotes racial profiling and could lead to over-policing and civil liberties violations.
Supporters claim the federal government has failed to adequately address illegal border crossings and fentanyl distribution.
Governor Katie Hobbs previously vetoed a similar measure, citing concerns over community harm and law enforcement burdens.
