Immigrant advocates are warning Las Vegas-area residents of increased immigration enforcement activity this week after receiving reports from different attorneys.
Laura Martin, executive director of the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, said at a Monday news conference that federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents targeted a business earlier Monday morning and that plainclothes officers arrested eight immigrants at a Las Vegas worksite last week.
The Nevada Immigrant Coalition, which includes organizations such as PLAN, the Culinary Union and ACLU of Nevada, organized the news conference.
