I want to reassure every single resident that I am committed to do all we can to keep our community safe. I am deeply troubled by President-Elect Trump’s plans for mass deportation. I believe they are cruel and immoral. I will work with our police chief to make sure that our focus remains on protecting and serving Tucsonans.

Here in Tucson, we know how to stand up and fight against hate and racist laws. Part of our history is coming together with our faith leaders and other organizations to protect children and families from separation. I am unwavering in my commitment to this fight.

While we do not have specific details about how mass deportations will be carried out by President-Elect Trump’s administration, we do know that it will be painful to children, families and our immigrant community.

We do not have the exact details as to when and if Proposition 314 goes into effect, we know that this hate-filled proposition draws from SB1070 – the show me your papers law.

We are a compassionate city that knows we are stronger together and that values our multi-racial heritage.

Justice will prevail.

What I will unequivocally say is that, as governor, I will not tolerate efforts that are part of misguided policies that harm our communities, and Arizona will not take part in those.

We will not be participating in misguided efforts that harm our communities, and I’ve been incredibly clear about that.

I think the diversion of law enforcement from the work that they do every day to keep our communities safe, people hiding in fear – we saw that under previous state policies here – and it it harms communities. It tears families apart. And we’re not going to…that’s not going to happen on my watch.
