Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes says she’s concerned that potential confrontations between residents and ICE officers could turn deadly because of an Arizona gun law.
The so-called ‘Stand Your Ground’ law “makes Arizona very, very different from almost every other state where this (ICE) buildup is happening,” the Democratic AG said in a wide-ranging interview on her potential response to a large ICE deployment in the state.
The law allows citizens to defend themselves if they believe their life is in danger.
“It’s kind of a recipe for disaster,” Mayes said. “We have in other states un-uniformed, masked people who can’t be identified as police officers. That is a problem. That’s why it’s so important to have uniforms and to be identified, especially in a state like Arizona.”
