ICYMI: Arizona AG Kris Mayes Responds to GOP AG Candidate’s Attacks Against DACA Recipients
June 17, 2026
State Sen. Warren Petersen wants to deport 72,000 Dreamers that call Arizona home
WASHINGTON, DC – Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes sharply refuted Republican Attorney General candidate Warren Petersen after he threatened thousands of DACA recipients “be ready to be deported or prosecuted.”

Earlier this week, AG Mayes told the AZ Mirror “‘I want every Dreamer in Arizona to know this: You have an attorney general in me who will fight for your rights, fight for your families and fight to ensure the Constitution protects everyone that it was designed to protect…’”
AG Mayes will always fight for the rights of Arizonans and protect the families and communities that are being targeted for political points. She’s the AG the people of Arizona deserve to have.
