Arizona law prohibits any city, county, or agency from limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities, effectively banning sanctuary policies statewide.
ARS 11-1051, enacted as part of SB 1070, requires that no official or agency of a county, city, town, or other political subdivision may adopt a policy that limits or restricts the enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law. Officers conducting lawful stops must make a reasonable attempt to determine immigration status when reasonable suspicion exists, and agencies must share information with federal authorities. Residents may sue any jurisdiction adopting a sanctuary policy, and courts may impose civil penalties of $500 to $5,000 per day.
Jurisdictions adopting sanctuary policies face civil penalties of $500 to $5,000 per day plus attorney fees under ARS 11-1051.
