OPINION — Arizona State Sen. Jake Hoffman’s latest bill, Senate Bill 1570, would require Arizona counties to “welcome” ICE agents at all polling locations.
It’s a reckless, self-serving proposal designed not to secure elections — but to score political points with the loudest, most extreme faction of his base.
Let’s be clear: voter intimidation is never acceptable. Full stop. The presence of federal immigration enforcement at polling places — whether symbolic or real — would have a chilling effect on lawful voters, poll workers and election officials.
