ICE Disputes Rep’s Claim

Federal authorities disputed U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva’s claim that she was pepper-sprayed while protesting an illegal immigration raid on Friday in Tucson.

The raid at Taco Giro was one of many across southern Arizona that were part of a broader illegal immigration and tax investigation that led to the arrest of 46 people.

The newly elected Grijalva, D-Tucson, said she was sprayed and pushed aside by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents while she was trying to ask questions.

An ICE spokesperson said Grijalva “was in the vicinity of someone who was pepper-sprayed as they were obstructing and assaulting law enforcement.”

Broadband Plan Gets Go-Ahead

The federal government gave final approval to Arizona’s broadband plan, clearing the way to bring high-speed internet to more rural and tribal areas.

The plan will bring coverage to more than 160,000 homes, schools, and other buildings as part of a $967 million project, with $447 million paid for by federal funds.

The Trump administration began granting final funding approval to states’ broadband plans last month after making changes, including elevating satellite internet as an option.

Construction is expected to start early next year.

Tempe Eyes Drink-Spiking Law

Tempe is considering Arizona’s first local ordinance requiring bars and clubs to provide drink spiking test kits and protective tools, including drink covers.

The measure aims to curb a crime that Tempe police say goes unreported 90% of the time. In 2024, Tempe reported 23 cases.

Compliance would cost businesses an estimated $300 to $400 annually, to be offset by a partial rebate on liquor license fees.

The city invites the public to comment via an online survey.
