Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs declared that Arizona will not comply with President Trump’s promised mass deportation policies.
Katie Hobbs is once again playing political theater at the U.S.-Mexico border this week, staging what many are calling an elaborate PR stunt while simultaneously vowing to defy the Trump administration’s promised mass deportation policies.
Hobbs, who barely won the governorship in 2022 after stealing it from Kari Lake, launched her new initiative dubbed “Task Force Safe.”
Hobbs rolled out a plan that, while flashy on paper, seems more focused on optics than results.
She claims she’s open to working with Trump’s administration, but only if mass deportation plans are off the table—ironically, one of the most effective tools to reduce illegal crossings and protect Americans.
“I look forward to having conversations with the incoming president about Arizona’s needs, including border security and the work we’ve done here to build these partnerships that are actually producing results and how we can continue those partnerships under his administration.”
[There are Arizona families who] “are worried about threats from the Trump administration as well.”
“I will not tolerate actions that harm Arizonans, that harm our communities and quite honestly, divert resources from providing real security at our border… I will stand up to protect Arizonans from harm by the federal government, from anyone.”
On Monday, Trump confirmed to declare a ‘National Emergency’ on immigration and will deploy the military to initiate mass deportations.
When pressed on whether state police or the National Guard would assist with Trump’s proposed mass deportations during an interview with Kyra Phillips, Hobbs doubled down on her opposition, stating she would not tolerate such ‘misguided efforts’ that would ‘harm our communities.’
