As of 2013, Arizona law allows police to inquire about a person's Immigration status during lawful stops, which can include asking about a green card. This practice is rooted in the controversial SB 1070 law, although the U.S. Supreme Court upheld certain provisions while striking down others. However, law enforcement must still adhere to guidelines that prevent racial profiling and ensure that inquiries are made in the context of lawful detentions. The legal landscape around immigration enforcement has evolved since then, so current practices may vary.
