Nevada superintendent says ICE won't enter schools
Clark County School District secured a commitment from ICE to avoid raids on campuses, protecting nearly half of its 300,000 students who are Hispanic or Latino, officials said.
- Recently, Clark County School District Superintendent Jhone Ebert announced ICE agreed not to conduct enforcement actions in Las Vegas-area schools, the nation's fifth-largest district.
- Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Justice designated Nevada as a 'sanctuary state,' despite Trump's earlier efforts to restrict immigration enforcement in schools.
- Teachers reported widespread fear among students and parents, in a district where nearly half of the 300,000 enrolled students are Hispanic or Latino, after a May ICE arrest outside Incline Village.
- Shortly after the president's statement, the Nevada legislative session passed a bill addressing ICE activity in schools, while the district reaffirmed its open-enrollment policy.
- Despite Democratic majorities, Nevada Legislature lacks votes to override Republican Governor Joe Lombardo's vetoes, maintaining his stance on cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
