Tell Gov. Hobbs: Stop AZ’s Anti-Immigrant Agenda

Standing together: Resisting Mass Deportation in Arizona

Most recent signers:

Update:

4/18/2025 Good news: Governor Hobbs vetoed SB 1164, but there are many more anti-immigrant bills that could head to her desk in the coming weeks. Send a message to let her know she has your support.

The message:

The Trump Administration is pushing the moral and legal bounds of our country to expedite deportations, disregarding people's rights and humanity in the process. At the same time, the Arizona state legislature is advancing several bills that would force our state to do the anti-immigrant bidding of the federal government and use state resources to fuel the mass deportation machine.

The recipient:

Governor Katie Hobbs

The impact:

There are six harmful anti-immigrant bills making their way to Governor Hobbs’ desk:

SB1164, SB1088, and HB2099 would force total local and state compliance with federal mass deportation, no matter how costly, burdensome, or inhumane.
SB1268 would require hospitals to document the immigration status of patients.
SB1610 would require county jails to send ICE information on anyone simply arrested for certain criminal offenses, including theft and shoplifting.
SB1294 would lease the shuttered Marana Prison to the federal government for a single dollar to serve as an immigrant detention center.

If signed, these bills will force Arizona to take part in Trump’s extreme mass deportation agenda. It will take all of us to urge Governor Hobbs to use her veto pen to protect Arizona’s immigrant communities!

Body:

As a concerned constituent, I implore you to veto SB1088, HB2099, SB1268, SB1610, and SB1294. These bills, taken together, represent a calculated and deeply troubling mass deportation agenda that will tear families apart, destabilize our communities, and undermine the civil rights and liberties of Arizonans.

Immigrants are part of our families, communities, workplaces and places of worship. No one should lose their fundamental rights based on their immigration status, nationality, race, or language. No one should lose their fundamental rights based on what they look like, sound like, or their immigration status. Our Constitution demands fairness for all. Please veto any harmful anti-immigrant bills that are sent to your desk.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

Message Body

The recent federal actions detailed in the news paint a horrifying picture of what awaits our communities if you let these bills become law. The dangerous invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, targeting specific nationalities without due process, demonstrates a chilling disregard for fundamental rights. The attempt to dismantle birthright citizenship, a cornerstone of our Constitution, reveals a dangerous willingness to rewrite established law. The abrupt termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for vulnerable populations, like Venezuelans and Haitians, throws lives into chaos.

Here in Arizona, we see similar intentions mirrored in the bills before you. The relentless surge in interior ICE enforcement and the rescinding of "sensitive locations" protections for schools and hospitals foreshadow the human cost of these policies. The proposed registry, a clear echo of historical persecution, casts a shadow of fear over every undocumented resident. These federal actions, coupled with the sweeping powers these state bills grant, will transform Arizona into a state where our fundamental rights and liberties are a distant memory. We must protect our communities, our values, and the very fabric of our society. We cannot allow Arizona to become a willing participant in this mass deportation agenda.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation *

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
