Members of the Arizona House on June 17 paused to honor the memory of Minnesota State Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were killed, and to express support for Senator John Hoffman and his wife, who were injured in a separate attack. Representative Gutierrez led the remarks, said political violence should never be tolerated, and urged colleagues to “be careful with our words.” The House observed a moment of respectful silence.

Later in the session, Representative Sandoval spoke about reported federal immigration-enforcement actions in Tucson. Sandoval said masked federal agents had been arresting asylum seekers who were appearing for scheduled immigration-court hearings, at times taking people outside observers’ sight and, he said, posing as utility workers to enter a residence without a warrant. He described the actions as “outrageous and targeted intimidation” and said the activities erode trust in institutions and due process. Sandoval urged standing “on the side of justice, humanity, and due process.”

Both sets of remarks were delivered on the House floor and recorded in the session transcript. The transcript records the speakers’ statements and calls for restraint in rhetoric; it does not include independent evidence or responses from federal authorities. Representative Gutierrez’s remarks asked members to “stand together” against political violence; Representative Sandoval’s remarks recounted incidents and characterized federal practice in Tucson, including an account that agents later “hid out in the parking garage” and pulled people over farther from observers.

The floor record does not show any formal House action — such as resolutions or votes — related to the memorial or the immigration-enforcement criticisms. No legislation or referral tied specifically to the floor comments appears in the transcript; any follow-up would require separate motions or committee action not recorded in the June 17 session.
