Pima County Primary Voting Secure | Tucson News

Pima County election officials confirm the July 21 primary is secure and on schedule, with safeguards in place for both mail-in and in-person voting. They’re addressing voter intimidation concerns and clarifying eligibility, emphasizing Arizona’s anti-intimidation laws and collaboration with law enforcement. New voter registration requirements now mandate proof of citizenship and residence, following a DOJ letter about non-citizens voting — though officials say their systems remain intact. The deadline to request a mail-in ballot was Friday; voters should mail completed ballots by July 14 or drop them off at designated locations to ensure timely receipt.

Foster Dad Turned Therapist Arrested | Tucson News

A 65-year-old man, John Lincoln Sperry, a former foster dad turned licensed clinical social worker specializing in sex addiction treatment, was arrested after a decades-old abuse case resurfaced. In 2004, he allegedly assaulted his 14-year-old foster daughter; the case went cold until the now-30s victim came forward again. Authorities reopened the investigation, secured an arrest warrant, and nabbed him in Prescott. He now faces two counts of sexual conduct with a minor and will be transferred to Pima County for trial — a chilling reminder that justice, though delayed, can still arrive.

Arizona’s new immigration law, modeled after Texas’s controversial measure, could let state courts handle federal immigration cases — a move the ACLU is suing to block, arguing it undermines asylum protections and federal authority. With a similar Texas law now standing after a recent appeals court ruling, Arizona’s law is poised to take effect unless a federal judge intervenes — reigniting a decades-old legal battle over whether states can enforce immigration policy.
