Attorney General Kris Mayes announced today that Arizona has reached a stipulated agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and ICE pausing efforts to convert a Surprise property into an immigration detention center until required environmental review is complete.
"This agreement is a significant win for the people of Surprise and for the rule of law. Federal agencies must complete the environmental review process required by federal law before moving forward with these types of projects. My office will keep fighting to ensure the law is followed.
