PHOENIX — The Arizona Court of Appeals has rejected efforts to void a measure approved by voters in 2024 on immigration.
In a new ruling Thursday, the judges upheld Proposition 314. Approved by voters in 2024 by a margin of 62.5 to 37.5, the proposition allows police to arrest those who cross the border at other than a port of entry and charge them with committing a state crime.
In 2025, Living United for Change in Arizona sued, charging that the law has provisions that violate federal and state constitutional protections, ranging from possible discriminatory enforcement to whether the measure failed to provide for a new source of revenues for enforcement.
