“Kris Mayes, Arizona Attorney General (AG) and a Democrat, noted that residents might legally defend themselves against masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents by shooting them if they feel their lives are at risk, citing the state’s self-defence statutes. … ‘you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and mask’ …. ‘And we have a Stand Your Ground law that says that if you reasonably believe that your life is in danger and you’re in your house or your car or on your property, that you can defend yourself with lethal force’ …. During the interview, the anchor expressed shock at Mayes’[s] statements, warning that they could be seen as giving residents a ‘licence’ to shoot federal agents. Mayes responded that she was simply noting a ‘fact’ rather than promoting violence.” (01/23/26)
