Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoes measure to give local police more latitude on immigration matters
The Business Journal of Phoenix
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed a bill Monday that would have given local police more latitude in tracking illegal immigrants.
House Bill 2807 aimed to allow local police and governments to share, compile and track information related to illegal immigration, including smuggling rings and crime syndicates.
Some police agencies (such as the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office) take an aggressive approach to immigration, while others work under some restrictions.
The measure sought to prohibit such restrictions and facilitate more cooperation among federal, state and local police on the immigration front.
Napolitano said HB 2807 could result in the state having to pay for police training on immigration matters. The bill would have the federal government pay for the training of Arizona police and others on immigration matters, but it said state money could be used for the effort if federal money were not available.
The governor nixed a similar bill in 2005.
