Saralnama: Arizona Republican senators filed an ethics complaint against Democratic Senator Analise Ortiz. They seek to expel her for resharing an Instagram post about Ice activity near a school. Ortiz shared a text-only alert from a community group warning of Ice presence. Critics claim she endangered federal agents, but Ortiz says no photos or names were shared. She believes people should know about Ice actions near schools. The complaint also asks to remove Ortiz from committees if expulsion fails. Ortiz sees this as an attempt to silence her and calls it an attack on free speech. The state's Democratic attorney general supports Ortiz, saying her post is protected by the First Amendment.
