The Clark County School District has opened up a new center focused on providing support to recently immigrated students and their families as they adjust to their new lives in the United States. 

Cesar Silva — father of immigration activist Astrid Silva — is the subject of a bill from Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) that would make him eligible for legal status, or at least halt the threat of deportation for now.

Family, friends and political colleagues honored him as a fierce champion of Nevada and “tough-as-nails” leader who also quietly offered help to those in need and inspired a new generation of leaders.

The House passed the American Dream and Promise Act in March, but the Senate has yet to consider the bill, in part, because 10 Senate Republicans would be needed to pass the measure with the 50-50 party split in the chamber. The House bill only got nine GOP votes.

The Clark County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved a name change from McCarran International Airport to Harry Reid International Airport.

Nevada DREAMers celebrated a federal judge’s decision Friday afternoon that requires the federal government to fully restore the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to function as it did prior to September 2017, when President Donald Trump terminated it.

Within the hike is an 83 percent increase for naturalization, a 34 percent increase for work permits, additional fees for green cards and a $50 fee for asylum seekers, making the U.S. only one of four countries — along with Iran, Australia and Fiji — to charge for an asylum application.

As DACA recipients savor the moment, the Supreme Court’s decision belies a tougher reality — that the program remains a temporary fix to a problem that has remained a political football for nearly two decades.

The 5-4 ruling — somewhat unexpected for immigrants rights advocates who had been bracing for the end of the program that defers deportation and allows participants to work legally in the U.S. — means the program will survive for now.

After a frantic two-week rush, Democratic presidential hopefuls fanned out across Nevada to hold events and campaign rallies in a final push before the state’s presidential caucus on Saturday.

The fate of thousands of Nevadans and hundreds of thousands of people around the nation hung in the balance Tuesday when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on whether President Donald Trump can terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The Senate last week focused on confirming President Donald Trump’s 159th judge as Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto ramped up her campaign against former state Solicitor General Lawrence VanDyke’s nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

A roundtable in Las Vegas on Tuesday brought students, administrators and presidents together to discuss how Nevada’s colleges and universities can support their DACA and undocumented students.

Delays in the receipt of key documents they need to keep their jobs or to apply for scholarships, and a lack of resources to process the renewal of their immigration protection status, are just some of the obstacles the beneficiaries of DACA have encountered since the cancellation in 2017.
