Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wildly suggested that residents can open fire on masked ICE agents if they feel their life is in danger under the state’s self-defense laws.
The Democrat, in a sit-down with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik, warned that Arizona’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows citizens to use deadly force if they believe they’re in imminent danger, could become a “recipe for disaster” if protesters clash with immigration officers.
“It’s kind of a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” Mayes said in the Monday interview, calling ICE “very poorly trained.”
“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.”
A flabbergasted Resnik repeatedly challenged Mayes, cautioning that her remarks could be interpreted as a “license” to residents to shoot a federal agent.
She shot back that she was merely stating a “fact,” not encouraging violence.
“If you’re being attacked by someone who is not identified as a peace officer — how do you know?” the state’s top prosecutor pressed, adding that “real cops don’t wear masks.”
“I mean if somebody comes at me wearing a mask, by the way, I’m a gun owner, and I can’t tell whether they’re a police officer, what am I supposed to do? No, I’m not suggesting people pull out their guns, but this is a don’t tread on me state.”
The attorney general, who was elected in 2022, unleashed her jaw-dropping comments as immigration officers begin to spread into parts of the Grand Canyon State.

And get tried in federal courts and executed.
Yeah, I wouldn’t try that if I were them. And Dumbell Mayes needs to be arrested.
Thanks, Kris, for clarifying my rights if I feel threatened & in fear for my life by any of these radical leftist protestors. It’s good to know that the state will have my back.
This really how we devolve into Revolutionary War 2? Seems like they want us to believe the ship is adrift, listing and on fire.
What happened to all the judges Trump 45 appointed?
cuz....when ALL law and order break down, or there is nothing left for us to loose, the liberal rioter freaks are gonna really find out how outnumbered and out gunned they are - and how much PENT UP AND PISSED OFF RED HOT MAD MANY OF US ARE. They have ripped my country apart. Corrupted my elections. Feed my children lies. Kill innocent babies. The list is never ending.
There will be no quarter. Im too old, mean and pissed for giving quarter. Hell, I wont even give a nickle.
They never seem to get picked when they assign judges to cases in those "random" drawings.
Democrats in 2020 — “Everybody must wear a mask.”
Democrats in 2026 — “If you see someone in a mask, you can shoot them.”
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL!
“The attorney general, who STOLE her election in 2022 from Abe...”
Fixed it.
“ And get tried in federal courts and executed.”
Probably. We had a really bad case in Midland where an alarm company sent out a false alarm to the cops and didn’t tell the homeowner. Cop comes into normal nice house in the middle of the night and an unsuspecting homeowner (middle class guy; engineer, never trouble with the law; little guy) sees a big dude in his house, so he shoots him and kills him.
Well the big dude was a cop.
Murder trial and acquitted, but truly a cluster all around.
It’s a fair point that cops need to be clearly uniformed and have marked cars, mainly for their protection.
Of course, the reason ICE goes incognito is the leftists actively interfere with them. So the blame lies there.

Out of her own mouth - stand your ground law allows CITIZENS to
defend themselves
Sounds like open-season on Antifa with no bag limit ...
Can an illegal, convicted criminal, with a final order for removal, legally carry a gun? If not, then the dingbat AG is directing this advisor the protesters.
ICE doesn’t covertly run around surprising protesters. The protesters actively seek out ICE agents. Stand your ground does not apply to the aggressor.
EC
Mayes was gifted her current office by the cartels - who no doubt whispered in her ear that encouraging citizens to shoot ICE agents would be a fine idea if she expects to win re-election.
We're still waiting for the AG to get out of the tanning booth.
Closer and closer to all out civil war. They will lose biggly.
