Las Vegas Metro Police declared the protest an unlawful assembly around 9 p.m. after some participants engaged in illegal acts, leading to an order to disperse and tear gas deployment.
Chicago saw 17 arrests during a similar Tuesday evening ICE protest, with four felony charges including aggravated battery of peace officers and one citation for intent to deface property.
The protests highlight ongoing nationwide responses to ICE actions and immigration policy, with authorities emphasizing peaceful assembly while holding violators accountable.
