Arizona's top Republican lawmaker is calling for the state's Democrat Attorney General to resign in disgrace after she made shocking comments about the shooting of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Senate Majority Leader John Kavanaugh (R) delivered a scathing letter dated January 23, 2026, demanding that Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) "step down in disgrace" over her inflammatory remarks regarding ICE officers who were shot in the line of duty.
This explosive confrontation comes as President Trump's mass deportation operation is ramping up across the nation, with ICE agents working tirelessly to remove criminal illegal aliens from American communities. The fact that a sitting state Attorney General would make callous comments about federal officers being shot is beyond the pale.
Democrats Show Their True Colors
Mayes' disgraceful comments expose the radical left's true feelings about law enforcement officers who are simply doing their jobs to protect American citizens. While hardworking ICE agents risk their lives every day to enforce our immigration laws, Democrat officials like Mayes apparently see them as the enemy.
This is exactly the kind of anti-law enforcement extremism that Patriots rejected when they overwhelmingly re-elected President Trump and gave Republicans control of government. The American people are sick and tired of radical Democrats who side with criminals over the brave men and women in uniform.
"The people of Arizona deserve an Attorney General who supports law enforcement, not one who makes outrageous comments about federal officers being shot," a source close to Kavanaugh's office told reporters.
Time for Accountability
Kavanaugh's demand for Mayes to resign sends a clear message that there will be consequences for Democrats who attack our law enforcement heroes. As Trump's deportation machine kicks into high gear, we need state officials who will support federal immigration enforcement, not undermine it with reckless rhetoric.
The question now is whether Mayes will do the right thing and step down, or if Arizona voters will have to remove her themselves. Either way, this kind of extremist anti-police rhetoric has no place in positions of power.
