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.

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.

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.

Feds raid Tucson restaurants in homeland security operation Two Taco Giro locations were among Tucson restaurants raided Friday by Homeland Security Investigations, officials say.

Showering Tucson community members, journalists, and elected officials with pepper spray and tear gas during peaceful observation and protest is another example of ICE and Border Patrol's lawlessness—conduct that is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated anywhere.

Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with 'suspicious' travel patterns The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious.

Border Patrol is using hidden cameras to secretly track drivers miles away from the border based on factors like where a driver starts their trip, where they’re headed, or which route they took. That should alarm all of us.
