Ethics Complaint Filed Against Arizona Democrat over ICE Alert
Senator Ortiz's alerts about Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations prompt ethics complaint from Republican colleagues seeking her expulsion or disciplinary action, citing public safety risks.
- On September 3, 2025, Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman filed an ethics complaint against Democratic Senator Analise Ortiz in Phoenix, citing endangerment of public safety and undermining immigration enforcement.
- The complaint followed Ortiz's August 5 repost of an ICE alert about agents outside a Phoenix elementary school, which Republicans claim violated laws against doxing and interfered with law enforcement.
- Senator Ortiz defended sharing publicly visible ICE activity, accused Republicans of using intimidation tactics to hinder her work, and affirmed her commitment to serving her district despite ongoing GOP attacks.
- Hoffman characterized Ortiz's actions as reckless and unethical, stating they jeopardize officer safety, calling for her expulsion or disciplinary actions including loss of committee assignments and office privileges.
- The GOP-controlled Ethics Committee, led by Senator Shawnna Bolick, has launched an investigation and awaits a U.S. Attorney review to decide on possible disciplinary measures, with expulsion requiring a two-thirds Senate vote.
