Democratic Assemblywoman Selena Torres is sponsoring AB376, which calls for reports from police agencies every year by Oct. 1. The report must detail how many undocumented people were transferred to the custody of a federal agency after being detained by a local agency that year and why, as well as what crimes those people were initially arrested for.

Senate Republicans dealt President Donald Trump a blow last week when they helped pass a resolution drafted by House Democrats blocking the president’s emergency declaration, which he used to reprogram previously appropriated funds for his border wall.

During a hearing in the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee on Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Mo Denis and Assemblyman Edgar Flores discussed the details of SB229, a bill that seeks to ban an owner or operator of a hotel from divulging personal information about its guests “for any purpose relating to the enforcement of immigration laws.”

Nevada Labor Commissioner Shannon Chambers probably figured she’d get some pushback when meeting with under-served workers at the Arriba Las Vegas Workers Center on Tuesday night. But she was visibly unprepared for – and unhappy with – the chaos that ensued when she arrived.

Latinx Voices of Southern Nevada, an initiative of the Oral History Research Center at UNLV, has set a goal of documenting stories from a cross section of Latinos in the Silver State, where almost 900,000 Hispanics reside.

“President Trump cannot sidestep our Constitution for a political ploy,” Ford said in a statement. “The Trump Administration’s proposed diversion of funds would waste billions of dollars that is dedicated to supporting our military and law enforcement agencies.”

The trip comes days before the country faces another potential shutdown of the federal government as congressional Democrats continue to refuse to fulfill President Donald Trump’s demand for billions of additional dollars to fund a border wall.  

“When the sheriff goes out and we go out in the community, we constantly hear these stories that you know, we’ve got a family that now is separated because of a very small thing like a traffic warrant,” Callaway said. “And so I think the sheriff has listened to that and he’s taken that to heart.”

"While this Administration has attacked this population and the program that protects them, my office has filed this brief to show support for these 4,000 individuals who call Nevada home, and we will continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our families," Ford said.

Nevada’s Latino voters could play a pivotal role in the outcome of Tuesday’s election, and underlying much of the engagement is anxiety that their situation in the U.S. has deteriorated over the past year. They have expressed having more interest in the 2018 elections compared to past midterms, and a record 29.1 million Hispanics are eligible to vote — an increase of 4 million since 2014.

From surveys and speeches to non-stop ads and campaign promises, it’s clear candidates are courting Latinos ahead of Tuesday’s general election. But what lies beyond the numbers? What’s pushing voters toward the Democratic or Republican parties?
