SB1070 was an Arizona law passed in 2010 that aimed to identify, prosecute, and deport illegal immigrants. It allowed police to check immigration status during other law enforcement actions and required immigrants to carry documentation. The law was controversial and faced a lawsuit for leading to potential racial profiling. Supporters argued it was necessary to curb violence and enforce immigration laws, while opponents argued it could discriminate against Hispanics and that not all undocumented immigrants harm communities.
