New from me: Legal immigrants are now getting tickets for not carrying their papers under a decades-old law. You can be cited if you're a permanent resident, international student, on a work visa, etc. Happening in southwest AZ but could spread inland azcir.org/news/2026/03/0…

ICYMI: Nearly a dozen AZ colleges are losing millions after federal cuts hit grants to minority-serving institutions. The reductions have forced schools to reduce services that helped raise GPAs and made students feel at home, AZCIR’s @molboha found: bit.ly/4o1dPNF
