AI Summary

This bill, concerning property use and immigration enforcement in Arizona, prohibits cities, towns, counties, and the state from using their publicly owned property for civil immigration enforcement activities or operations unless a valid judicial warrant specifically authorizes such use on a particular property. This prohibition extends to using parking lots, parking garages, or vacant lots as staging areas, processing locations, or operations bases for civil immigration enforcement, with "staging area" defined as a place for assembling and deploying resources and personnel for these operations.
