Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In recent elections, Arizona voters passed two controversial measures: Proposition 314 allows law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants crossing outside official ports, and Proposition 313 imposes mandatory life sentences for child sex trafficking. Despite claims of enhancing child protection, critics warn these laws could lead to racial profiling and disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. Both measures reflect a broader national trend towards stricter immigration and anti-trafficking policies, amid legal challenges expected to arise due to potential conflicts with federal law enforcement power.
