Arizona 's legislature is considering legislation to ensure the key border state cooperates with the mass deportation push by the new Trump administration.

The legislation would require sheriff’s departments and the Arizona Department of Corrections to enter into co-operative agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement .

The agreements are based on 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act , which allows ICE to delegate to state and local law enforcement officers certain immigration functions, including detaining suspected illegal immigrants.
