ACLJ Files Amicus Brief at Supreme Court to Defend Arizona's Voter ID and Citizenship Verification Laws

ACLJ Files Amicus Brief at Supreme Court to Defend Arizona's Voter ID and Citizenship Verification Laws

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, urging it to reverse a Ninth Circuit ruling that impacts Arizona's voter registration requirements. The case, Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota, centers on Arizona's mandate for voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship and its process for confirming and canceling registrations of self-identified noncitizens. The Ninth Circuit previously ruled that the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) preempts these Arizona requirements. The ACLJ argues that this ruling undermines Arizona's ability to maintain accurate voter rolls and ensure election integrity by making it harder to verify voter eligibility. The organization asserts that confirming a voter's citizenship is a fundamental check for trustworthy elections and that the NVRA was intended to facilitate voter registration while allowing states to keep their rolls secure, not to force states to accept registrations without reliable eligibil...

CAP Board Authorizes Legal Action Against Federal Authorities Over Colorado River Water Cuts

CAP Board Authorizes Legal Action Against Federal Authorities Over Colorado River Water Cuts

The Central Arizona Project (CAP) board has authorized its general counsel to take legal action against federal authorities if necessary, in response to proposed cuts in Colorado River water allocations. This decision comes as Arizona faces significant reductions in its share of river water, with the CAP Canal, which supplies water to the Phoenix and Tucson areas, potentially seeing its flows severely curtailed. CAP officials warn that under the worst-case scenario of a 10-year framework, the canal could go dry. The board's move aims to protect the water supply of the Central Arizona Project and maintain flexibility in responding to sudden or changing events. Legal actions could include intervening in existing lawsuits, such as one filed by Nevada against the federal plan, or initiating independent litigation related to the federal record of decision or the Law of the River. Additionally, the CAP board approved a deal to purchase approximately 9,000 acre-feet of water from the Colorado River Indian Tribes ...

Fugitive Arrested in Casa Grande Bar Shooting After Three-Week Manhunt

Tristen Lee Alvarez, 21, has been arrested in Casa Grande, Arizona, following a nearly three-week manhunt. Alvarez was wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Jacob Encinas outside the Airport Tavern on August 15. The incident, which occurred around 1:45 a.m. in the bar's parking lot, escalated from a verbal argument between the two men, resulting in Encinas being shot once in the upper torso. Encinas was pronounced dead at the scene, while Alvarez fled, prompting authorities to issue a warning that he was armed and dangerous. Alvarez faces charges of first-degree murder, misconduct with weapons, and disorderly conduct with weapons. The Casa Grande Police Department, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service, apprehended Alvarez on September 3. The homicide investigation remains active.
