Hobbs blocks GOP bill requiring Az governments to help with Trump deportations

While she has said she is willing to work with Trump on border security matters, Hobbs has consistently rejected Republican legislation that would force Arizona governments to act as extensions of Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies. Paul Ingram/TucsonSentinel.comWhile she has said she is willing to work with Trump on border security matters, Hobbs has consistently rejected Republican legislation that would force Arizona governments to act as extensions of Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies.

Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed 35 bills on May 12, including a GOP-backed measure that would force every level of government in the Grand Canyon State to assist in President Donald Trump’s mass deportations.

The slew of vetoes Monday brings her total for the year to 124. That’s already 50 more than the 73 bills she vetoed in all of 2024, and Hobbs is swiftly closing in on the record 143 measures she rejected in 2023.

“When I assumed the role of Governor, I pledged to uphold both the U.S. Constitution and the Arizona Constitution, as did each of you,” Hobbs wrote in her veto letter for Senate Bill 1088, using language she’s used in vetoes of two other Republican immigration measures. “Arizonans, not Washington, D.C. politicians, must decide what’s best for Arizona.”
