Republican Sen. John Kavanagh said Friday that policy changes the department adopted in July illegally restrict when officers can inquire about a person's immigration status. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that police can't hold someone longer than normally needed just to check their immigration status. Kavanagh is asking the state attorney general to review the policy under a 2016 law allowing a single lawmaker to trigger an investigation. If the attorney general determines the policy conflicts with state law, the city will have 30 days to eliminate it or face loss of state tax revenues. The 2010 law known as SB 1070 was passed as Republicans pushed to crack down on illegal immigration into Arizona.
