Governor Doug Ducey and Republican lawmakers have pulled a proposal to include a ban on so-called sanctuary cities in the Arizona constitution.
The decision announced late Thursday comes on the eve of a House hearing on the proposal the Republican governor asked lawmakers to send to voters.
A Senate hearing last week erupted in shouting and resulted in the removal of activists who called the proposal racist.
Last November, Tucson voters overwhelmingly voted against making their community a sanctuary city.
