An Arizona city has declared a state emergency in response to President Trump's border and deportation executive orders designed to "stop the invasion at the southern border."

The Douglas City Council voted 3-2 to declare the emergency, arguing that the border city would see "a potential loss in revenue for (the municipal) government and local businesses" and "an increase in costs to assist the federal government in carrying out these Proclamations and Executive Order."

According to the Arizona Republic, Douglas Mayor Jose Grijalva said on Friday that he supports the emergency declaration, arguing that Trump's executive orders could hurt the local economy near the southern border.

Douglas currently has a population of about 15,000.

"I'd rather just stay on the safe side in case something happens, if our revenue drops," he said. "We only have one grocery store right now ... and it's right next to the border," the mayor added. "People from Agua Prieta come, you know, families come, and if there's a limit on things, you know, the mom, the pop, the daughter and the son, they all buy to the limit. Then they take it back to Mexico."
