riverdale-74:
Proposition 205, an initiative to declare Tucson, Arizona a sanctuary city for illegal aliens is on the ballot in Tucson on November 5, 2019. Backed by an array of leftist groups, the initiative would severely restrict the ability of law enforcement officers and city employees to determine people's citizenship status.

PeteS in CA:
Unless U of A is an absolute nest of conservatives, I would expect this idiocy to pass. Sadly.

Wingnut:
Our Governor had the good sence to sign a law into effect that bans any city in our state from becoming a Sanctuary city.

Sanctuary city initiative divides liberal Tucson, Arizona

Jonathan J. Cooper, Associated Press Updated 10:14 am CST, Sunday, November 3, 2019
 

Tucson is widely credited as the birthplace of the 1980s Sanctuary Movement, an effort by churches to help refugees from Central America and shield them from deportation.

Now, as President Donald Trump's immigration policies put renewed focus on the treatment of people who come to the United States without authorization, the progressive southern Arizona city is again grappling with what it means to be a city welcoming of immigrants.

Voters are deciding whether to designate Tucson as Arizona's only sanctuary city, a direct challenge to Trump and to an anti-illegal immigration law that put a global spotlight on the state nearly a decade ago. The vote Tuesday is dividing progressives in a city where many are eager to send Trump a message, but where some worry they will merely draw the ire of the president and his allies in the state Legislature.

The Initiative will pass, and Tucson will give the rest of the State the finger.  You heard it here first.
