Mike Kagan, director of the UNLV Immigration Clinic, shared that more than 400 people are in ICE custody at the two Southern Nevada detention centers: the Henderson Detention Center and the Nevada Southern Detention Center.
Nevada ACLU accuses Las Vegas police of withholding immigration enforcement information: “The lawsuit claims that LVMPD officials failed to release public records regarding their cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The legal action claims that LVMPD quietly signed an agreement with ICE allowing local law enforcement to collaborate and carry out immigration enforcement duties. It also claims that the ACLU did not receive a response to public records requests regarding the policy shift.” (Fox5)
City staff scrambles to maintain services after Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation announces closure: “The city of Reno is working to stabilize parks-related services and community programs following last week’s announcement that the Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation (TMPF) is insolvent and will be dissolved imminently. As first reported by This Is Reno, multiple agencies including the federal AmeriCorps program are investigating the organization and what board members said appears to be ‘severe financial mismanagement’ by its former executive director Heidi Anderson.
