Letter: Mayes criticism unfair

I don’t understand the uproar over Attorney General Kris Mayes’ comments regarding the potential for violence when the current ramped-up immigration enforcement and Arizona’s “stand your ground” law come into conflict. As reported in the Daily Star, Federal agents are often masked, without identification, and are ready to use lethal force. There clearly could be instances of violence resulting from a masked, unidentified, armed intruder bashing his way into a home without a warrant and being confronted by a resident who “stands his ground.” Either we should eliminate the “stand your ground” law in Arizona, or immigration enforcement agents should act like police officers and not cover their faces, wear clearly marked uniforms with name plates and badges, have body cameras, and use judicial warrants when they enter residents’ houses. You can’t have it both ways. Mayes should not be criticized for pointing out the risks.
