The citations remain in federal records for 30 years and can complicate green card or citizenship applications, potentially making people more vulnerable to deportation as the Trump administration expands efforts to revoke legal status of legal residents
AZCIR || @azcir.bsky.social@ArizCIR

CBP agents in southwest Arizona have issued more than 100 citations to legal immigrants using a 1952 “carry your papers” law that has been rarely enforced for decades. azcir.org/news/2026/03/0…

Amid rumors of increased ICE enforcement in AZ, I want to hear from students and staff at our colleges and universities about the vibe on campus and what, if anything, schools are saying about potential ICE visits. Read my latest update and reach out: mailchi.mp/azcir.org/ice-…

The legislator behind one of the 2025 measures said his bill was intended to protect women’s health and welfare, since voters didn’t grasp the implications of Prop. 139 'quite like we do in the Legislature as lawmakers.'
AZCIR || @azcir.bsky.social@ArizCIR

NEW: Prop. 139 won majority support in every AZ district, enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution. Instead of adjusting course, GOP lawmakers pushed new abortion restrictions, @adrianaavarro found—with more coming this session: azcir.org/?p=35084

3 yrs after AZ voters approved in-state tuition for undocumented students through Prop 308, it’s unclear how many have actually benefited. The state had no centralized system to oversee the law's rollout or ensure consistent implementation, @molboha found: azcir.org/news/2026/01/0…

In our latest, a dispatch from Ukraine, we trace a direct line from Ukraine’s drone war to the U.S.–Mexico border, examining a blurring between military innovation and civilian law enforcement that has fueled the rise of dual-use, military-grade technology in domestic border ops
AZCIR || @azcir.bsky.social@ArizCIR

Drones “battle-tested” in Ukraine are now being piloted at the U.S.-Mexico border, where the boundaries between local police and military operations are becoming increasingly blurred. Reported from Ukraine w/ @Appalachia100. Supported by @IWMF. azcir.org/news/2025/12/1…

NEW: When CA and NV tightened groundwater rules, investors didn’t stop drilling — they just moved into AZ. Now, more than 99% of cropland in one rural basin is owned or controlled by out-of-state interests. @ArizCIR's latest must-read: azcir.org/news/2025/11/1…

An import conversation with an esteemed group, with a special thanks to @Cronkite_ASU for hosting. Threats to journalists and journalism today are real, and we can't take action to mitigate them if we don't talk about them openly.
AZCIR || @azcir.bsky.social@ArizCIR

Last night, AZCIR’s @bquester joined @pressfreedom’s @kajtweets, media attorney David Bodney and @AZAGMayes to discuss evolving threats journalists face—and the strategies they need to stay safe while uncovering the truth. Thanks to @Cronkite_ASU for this critical conversation.

NEW: Perinatal mental health conditions are among the leading causes of maternal deaths in AZ. A lack of training among maternal health providers, compounded by pervasive barriers to care in rural areas, is preventing many women from getting help in time: azcir.org/news/2024/12/1…

The second installment of our ongoing series, "Seeds of Distrust," via our esteemed colleague @ajcorchado, who details a shifting perspective among a former borderlands hard-liner👇

NEW: Texas Sheriff Arvin West was a leading border hard-liner. Now, though, weary of divisive politics, he's shifting his perspective, via @ajcorchado, w/ Puente News Collaborative, @ArizCIR, @palabranahj, @TexasObserver & @BorderChronicle azcir.org/news/2024/10/3…

The vast majority of AZ voters cast their ballots by mail, so how you sign that ballot matters. In our latest collaboration with @Votebeat, @JenAFifield & @hannahebassett detail how the verification process of those signatures can disproportionately impact certain groups
Hannah Bassett@hannahebassett

🌟NEW: An investigation with @ArizCIR and @VotebeatUS found Arizona’s voting system is flawed—but not in the way you’ve likely heard before. @JenAFifield puts it all into clear context, with data analysis by me ⤵️ azcir.org/news/2024/10/1…
