Arizona Senate adjourns following no vote on controversial immigration bill
TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – A much-anticipated vote of House Concurrent Resolution 2060, also known as the Secure the Border Act, did not happen because Republicans did not have enough votes to pass it.
There is a very narrow margin for the Republicans in the state legislature. They cannot lose a single vote to pass bills and on Tuesday, they lost two.
The first was District 1′s Ken Bennett who said he had concerns about the language of the bill. And the second is Tucson Republican Justine Wadsack, who was absent.

Without enough votes, the chamber recessed until May 22, when they will likely try again. That is, if they can change the language to suit Bennett.
“There are some things that if we don’t get it we are not going to vote for it,” Bennett told a gaggle of reporters who surrounded him following the vote to adjourn. “Some of the things are important enough my vote is contingent on that.”
HCR 2060 would give local police the power to arrest someone if they suspect they are in the country illegally. It would also let the state to deport them and not even to their country of origin, which is one of Bennett’s concerns.
Another is racial profiling, like the “Show Me Your Papers” bill, SB 1070, which passed 14 years ago and was mostly struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
This has caused concerns that police will stop brown-skinned people without probable cause.
Although supportive of law enforcement, Bennett still has some concerns about that.
Then there’s the cost of enforcement and implementation which some estimate could be as high as $325 million a year. He’s got concerns about that too.
Some groups and organizations believe the bill could target DACA recipients which is another concern for the Republican lawmaker.
The body recessed for eight days when they will come back to try again.
Even if they pass it, it must still go to the House for approval before it can get on the ballot and that is not a guarantee.

Person accused of making terroristic threats to medical facility in northern Arizona
PAGE, AZ (AZFamily) — A person accused of making terroristic threats toward a northern Arizona medical facility was arrested Friday morning.
Just after 10:30 p.m., police received a report of a person calling the facility and threatening to kill staff and Native Americans, according to the Page Police Department.
Authorities said staff placed the facility on lockdown until officers identified the suspect and arrested them outside their home.
The suspect was booked on charges of disorderly conduct, threatening and intimidating, and making terroristic threats. Police have not publicly identified the person.
“The Page Police Department is grateful for and supports the medical staff’s decision to put the medical facility into lockdown until the suspect was arrested and the situation was rendered safe,” the department said in a Facebook post.

NFL mock draft: 4-round projections for Arizona Cardinals
In these four-round projections, the Arizona Cardinals don’t get a tackle until the fourth round.
We are just days away from the 2026 NFL draft, and that means some final mock drafts. What direction will the draft take the Arizona Cardinals?
Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy put together a four-round mock draft for the Cardinals. They go defense early but rebuild the offense for 2026 and moving forward, including landing their potential franchise quarterback.
Cardinals 4-round mock draft
Here are the players in the first four rounds Popejoy projects for Arizona.
- Round 1: Ohio State EDGE/LB Arvell Reese
- Round 2: Alabama QB Ty Simpson
- Round 3: Clemson WR Antonio Williams
- Round 4: Florida OT Austin Barber
What we think of the picks
The Cardinals want to trade out of the third pick and draft a tackle, so not getting a tackle until Round 4 seems unlikely, although they did meet with Barber. They do have options at right tackle for 2026 already on the roster.
Reese would be a great pick if they don’t trade back, as they badly need pass-rushing help off the edge.
Drafting Simpson seems inevitable at this point, so it has to be in a mock draft, although the feeling is they will need to go up into Round 1 again to get him.
Williams has speed and is almost six feet tall, but he does have short arms.

Detroit Lions NFL Draft Injury Report: Arizona State CB Keith Abney
Due to significant injuries to the CB position last year which includes a shoulder surgery for Terrion Arnold, the Lions CB position scored a 6/10 need on my Lions Defensive Draft Need Rankings. Thus, an early-round selection of a young, healthy prospect like Keith Abney would not come as a surprise. He enters the draft with very low medical concern level.
Here is the excerpt from my medical report on Keith Abney:
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Keith Abney, CB (21) – Arizona State
Projected round 2-3. #43 on Jeff Risdon board Feb 19.
Concern level 0/10
There is an isolated report of a hand injury but no corroborating information. Even if the hand injury is true, that’s of minimal to no long-term concern.
His availability in his final two seasons has been perfect. Overall, Abney appears to be medically clean and is at an excellent age.
He finished college with 6 INT and 21 PBU.
