Phoenix leaders recently voted to restrict ICE’s ability to use city property.
Now a state lawmaker wants the attorney general to investigate the city for a policy he says conflicts with Arizona law.
The administrative regulation means that, without preapproval from the city manager, ICE is banned from using certain Phoenix city property as an operation base, to stage units and to process people arrested. The move last week by Phoenix is similar to one in February by the Pima County Board of Supervisors, which requires ICE to get a judicial warrant to use county-owned property.
Now state Rep. Quang Nguyen has called on the Arizona Attorney General’s Office to investigate the Phoenix regulation.
Nguyen represents Arizona's 1st Legislative District, which includes most of Yavapai County and a portion of Coconino County. He says the Phoenix regulation conflicts with state law and goes beyond passive non-cooperation.
