Undocumented migrants on parole who have been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony would post their photos online under a new bill to collect data on crime rates in the immigrant community, but critics say it’s just an attempt to single them out .
Bell, an attorney with the Arizona chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday that targeting and collecting data on undocumented immigrants contributes to the notion that they are the commit most crimes when they are in fact the opposite has happened. turned out to be true. A 2020 study in Texas reported that US-born citizens were more than twice as likely as undocumented immigrants to be arrested for drug and violent crimes and four times as likely as property crimes.

How do I get details on arrests in Tucson?
You may have already noticed that your local police will not give you access to arrest files, let alone police files or anything like that. However, there are two other sources of information on the internet that may be helpful.
- The KGUN website that posts mug shots of arrests at https://www.kgun9.com/photo-galleries/crime/mugshots. The problem is that apart from a photo, the name of the arrestee and a brief statement of the charges, you get nothing, and even that is only available to some of the detainees.
- You can use the Pima County Sheriff’s Office arrest application at https://www.sheriff.pima.gov/inmate/. This is a simple tool that allows you to access arrest reports by searching for the arrestee’s name.
