Gov. Joe Lombardo issued a joint statement with other Republican governors last week saying that he is ready to deploy state law enforcement and the National Guard to support deportation efforts under the incoming Trump administration — a move that could have major implications in Nevada, which has the highest per capita undocumented population of any state.

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo joined 25 other Republican governors on Wednesday in endorsing President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to address illegal immigration. The group pledged to assist in deporting undocumented immigrants who pose threats to public safety and national security.

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo joined with 25 other Republican governors Wednesday to pledge their support for President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to “make America safe again by addressing the illegal immigration crisis and deporting illegal immigrants who pose a threat to our communities and national security.”

The incoming presidential administration led a campaign that promised mass deportations. As the nation’s leader in mixed-status families, what does that mean for the portion of Las Vegas immigrants still working on their U.S. citizenship? Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Michael Kagan, law professor and director of the UNLV Immigration Clinic, about how the current and possible future of immigration policy will impact everyone living in Las Vegas, and what residents can do to be prepared.

Elias Benjelloun’s parents were issued their deportation orders quickly after President-elect Donald Trump first stepped into office in 2016. For the family, Benjelloun said, the deportation order felt somewhat like a betrayal. Originally from the Netherlands, the family’s asylum case had been pending for decades before the FBI had granted them assistance after Benjelloun’s father — owner of a popular Las Vegas hookah lounge — reported information.

After years of Texas being the first stop for people illegally crossing the border, Lone Star State officials are volunteering to let President-elect Donald Trump use a state ranch as the last place immigrants set foot on American soil before being forcibly deported.On Tuesday, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham offered Trump a 1,400-acre ranch near the border in South Texas to host a mass deportation facility. Buckingham bought the ranch earlier this year, she said, because the previous owner refused to let Texas build a border wall across it.

Nevada’s captains of industry and political leaders are doing little, if anything, to prepare for the potential economic hit as well as the human toll of President-elect Donald Trump’s vow to deport at least 11 million undocumented immigrants, including 189,000 who live in Nevada.

With Donald Trump in line to be the next president of the United States, immigrant communities across Nevada and the nation are bracing for his promise to carry out the “largest deportation in the history of our country,” removing millions of immigrants in mass roundups and raids. Among the most immediate effects of such a move would be to tear Nevada families apart, experts predict.
