Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes suggested in a recent interview with local Arizona 12 News that people would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents in Arizona, even presenting a legal argument for doing so.
Mayes discussed a potential surge of ICE operations in the Grand Canyon State with Brahm Resnik, following the introduction of a new page on the Attorney General’s website to film and report alleged misconduct by federal agents.
“Members of the public in Arizona should use this form to report (including submitting video footage or photographic evidence) potentially unlawful activity in Arizona by federal agents or personnel, such as officers or agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Independent evidence, submitted directly to our office, could be critical for future independent investigations into alleged misconduct,” the webpage reads.
During the interview with 12 News, Mayes warned ICE agents, “We are watching you.” She continued, “If you violate an Arizona law, I will prosecute you, we will investigate you, and we will make sure that Arizona laws are enforced. That includes assault, murder, unlawful imprisonment, and other state crimes.”
At one point in the interview, Mayes highlighted Arizona’s Stand Your Ground law, which allows individuals to use reasonable or deadly force to protect themselves, others, or property without a duty to retreat, suggesting that you have the right to kill masked ICE agents.
