Show Notes
The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada sued the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department over its 287(g) agreement with immigration authorities, following the case of Sergio Morais-Hechavarria, who was held beyond a court order for drug treatment. Despite the lawsuit, Morais-Hechavarria was deported, leading to the dismissal of the challenge as moot. The Nevada ACLU executive director criticized the ruling, vowing to appeal and continue fighting these agreements, which play a significant role in Nevada deportations. Lawmakers plan to block these agreements in the 2027 session, while the ACLU prepares for more lawsuits due to increasing ice holds.
