Judicial Watch Sues AZ Gov. Hobbs over ICE ‘Know Your Rights’ Website
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it filed an Arizona Public Records Law lawsuit against Gov. Katie Hobbs for records regarding the costs and communications associated with her administration’s launch of a “Know Your Rights” web portal advising Arizonans on interactions with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal law enforcement officials (Judicial Watch Inc. v. Katie Hobbs (No. CV2026-029456)).
The lawsuit was filed in Maricopa County Superior Court after the Governor’s Office failed to produce records in a February 2026 public records request about the development of the “knowyourrights.az.gov” website, as well as documents supporting claims made by the Governor’s Office regarding alleged violations of Arizonans’ rights by federal law enforcement.
The request further seeks communications between the Governor’s Office and immigration advocacy organizations and individuals, including Aliento Education Fund, Arizona Center for Empowerment (ACE), Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), Proyecto Progreso, Raquel Terán, Reyna Montoya, and Lena Avalos.
In a February 4, 2026, press release, Hobbs’s office announces the launch of the web portal “to inform Arizonans of their constitutional rights when engaging with federal law enforcement or in peaceful protests.” Hobbs states in a video included in the release, which also appears on the website, “I share the fear and anger of many Arizonans who, over the past year, have seen far too many instances of federal agents denying us our right to peaceful protest …”
The launch of the website follows Hobbs’s April 2025 veto of the “ICE Act” (Senate Bill 1164), which AZ Senate President Warren Petersen described as “a reasonable, commonsense proposal supported by Arizona sheriffs to ensure all levels of law enforcement were working with the federal government to enforce our laws and protect our citizens from harm.”
“Governor Hobbs is using taxpayer resources to promote a website built around claims about federal law enforcement, yet her administration refuses to provide the public with basic information about its costs, development, and the records supporting those claims,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
In October 2025, Judicial Watch filed an Arizona Public Records Law lawsuit against Hobbs for records regarding her office reportedly ordering state police and the Arizona National Guard to withhold cooperation from federal immigration enforcement authorities (Judicial Watch Inc. v. Office of the Arizona Governor (No. CV2025-039217)).
