The expansion of ICE into airports, including Phoenix Sky Harbor, is wrong. The move will spread fear, confusion, and target travelers just trying to get where they're going. ICE's presence only adds unnecessary tension.

Make sure you know your rights and have a plan.

Mr. Damas is the 10th person to die in immigration custody in 2026.

ICE has a history of abusive conditions and medical neglect in immigration detention, and the rush to expand capacity has only made matters worse.

New federal ruling overturns DHS memo barring unannounced congressional visits to ICE detention This case dates back to last summer, when DHS first released a memo requiring lawmakers to give a week’s notice before visiting ICE facilities.

Unfettered access to ICE detention centers by lawmakers is essential for meaningful oversight. This week, a federal judge affirmed that principle, striking down DHS’ bogus one-week notice rule as a direct threat to accountability.

Homeland Security documents confirm ICE facility coming to Marana Recently published Homeland Security documents disclose plans for an ICE facility in Marana, Arizona.

“Many residents of Marana and communities across Arizona know what is at stake. They know detention centers come at a high cost. They tear families apart, fuel fear, and erode constitutional rights,” said Victoria López, executive director of the ACLU of Arizona.

Arizona Republicans want voters to decide on trans bathroom ban after years of Hobbs vetoes The Arizona Senate passed a ballot referral restricting transgender students bathroom access, plus bills targeting gender-affirming care

Extremist lawmakers are once again targeting trans students, but this time they’re threatening to put their harmful attacks on the ballot.

Let’s be clear: SCR1006 is outright discrimination, plain and simple.

Nearly 7K write opposing Surprise ICE center as Noem shares new details People wrote to DHS to complain about plans for the 1,500-bed detention facility after Greg Stanton invites comment. Only Paul Gosar got answers.

Arizona’s detention centers are already plagued with serious injustices and abuse. Expanding them isn’t the answer. Surprise, Arizona residents have rightfully voiced opposition to a planned ICE detention center.

ICE runs license plates at Home Depot to find people here illegally The operation in west Phoenix resulted in at least one arrest: a man was accused of assaulting federal agents.

ICE is scanning license plates in parking lots — another escalation in Arizona's use of surveillance technology to expand immigration enforcement. This isn't about public safety. It is about the erosion of privacy through tracking, profiling, and intimidation.

Stop Anti-Voter Bills Now The SAVE Act, the SAVE America Act, and MEGA Act could keep millions of eligible U.S. citizens from being able to vote. Urge Congress to reject these bills.

Her remarks confirm what we already know: the SAVE Act and similar bills aim to weaponize baseless fears about immigrant communities to suppress voter turnout among citizens of color.

Take action to stop these anti-voter bills from advancing.

Kristi Noem, under fire for immigration, pivots to elections in Arizona President Donald Trump's allies have reprised the topic of election security ahead of the November 2026 midterms. Here's what Kristi Noem said.

DHS Secretary Noem joined the chorus of Arizona election deniers to tout federal bills that would harm voters by ending mail-in voting, purging eligible voters from the rolls, and rendering most tribal IDs invalid as proof of citizenship. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

More than 1,000 decry Surprise ICE center to powerless City Council The U.S. Department of Homeland Security bought a 418,400-square-foot warehouse in Surprise for $70 million. ICE confirmed it will house 1,500 beds.

Detention sites are known for horrible conditions – with documented instances of abuse and abhorrent medical care that is leading to a record number of deaths.

From Marana to Surprise, communities understand this and are firmly standing against ICE detention expansion in Arizona.

ICE agents detain Navajo man in Arizona, ignoring US, tribal IDs Peter Yazzie was held for several hours in metro Phoenix, but there are reports of Native people detained in Minnesota and elsewhere.

Peter Yazzie attempted to provide his ID, social security card, and even his birth certificate, but ICE disregarded it all and detained him for 4 hours.

This is brazen racial profiling by an agency that is out of control and endangering our communities. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...
