Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs vetoes GOP-backed bill criminalizing unauthorized border crossings.

Arizona's Democratic Governor, Katie Hobbs, vetoed a Republican-backed bill that would have criminalized unauthorized border crossings, stating the measure did not "secure the border". The bill proposed jail sentences of up to six months for first offenses and up to two years for subsequent offenses. Critics argue the bill could lead to racial profiling and burden law enforcement and judicial systems.
