Dozens of people — including a group of local mariachis — are protesting an agreement between the City of Henderson and ICE to detain immigrants on their behalf.
Nearly a hundred people are being held there.

The NV Senate approved SB172, my Agricultural Workers’ Bill of Rights. This legislation introduces comprehensive protections for agricultural workers, including rights to collective bargaining, improved housing standards, & access to essential services @NVAFLCIO@maketheroadnv
The Nevada Senate has passed a measure to establish a Agriculture Workers' Bill of Rights.
It would mandate break time requirements, raise housing standards, outline protections for whistleblowers, and allow workers to collectively bargain.
"By recognizing and supporting #AB367, we strengthen our democracy and affirm that all citizens—whether they are fluent in English or more comfortable in their madre lengua—have the right to participate fully in shaping our communities & our future." -Noé of @maketheroadnv#NVLeg
"It doesn’t just improve access— it empowers participation and ensures that our democratic systems reflect the full diversity and strength of our state." -Noé Orosco (@maketheroadnv) in support of #AB306. #NVLeg
NV farm workers need legal protections, and SB172 aims to provide these rights and safeguards. It acknowledges the crucial role of farm workers in agriculture and the economy. Supporting SB172 promotes equity and ensures all workers are treated with dignity and respect. #NVLeg
This kind of intimidation has no place in our schools. Every child deserves to feel safe at school. Incidents like this is exactly what we are trying to prevent with AB217.

BREAKING: LAUSD confirms plainclothes federal agents tried to question kids at two elementary schools in Los Angeles Monday but were denied entry by administrators. Superintendent Carvahlo said the agents claimed they had parent permission to question the kids, but it wasn't true
Noé (@maketheroadnv) testified in support of #AB148, saying, "Requiring counties to send sample ballots prior to mailing the official ballots would allow voters to review & familiarize themselves with the candidates & ballot measures before receiving their official mail ballot."
Not only does this bill protect the workload of election workers, but equally importantly, we believe that it levels the playing field for our representative democracy." -Noe (@maketheroadnv) in support of #AB287 during today's Asm. LegOps hearing. #NVLeg#LetNevadansVote
Join us tomorrow, Wednesday, @DonaMarias, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., as we welcome guest speakers Clark County District E Commissioner Tick Segerblom, Just One Project Director Serafin Calvo, and Robert A. Macias from The Wildcard Studio.
This morning Susie Martinez was proud to co-present Senate Bill 172 along side Senator Edgar Flores. This legislation ensures that agricultural workers have the right the collectively bargain, are paid fair wages, and have acceptable living conditions.
Today I had the honor of presenting 2 bills: SB172 (NV Agricultural Workers Bill of Rights) w/ @NVAFLCIO Susie Martinez @maketheroadnv Tony Ramirez & many more & SB190 (appropriation for @DiscoveryLV) w/ CEO Melissa Kaiser. Wonderful day. #strongertogether#NVLeg#homemeansNV
Nevada farmworkers face low wages, unsafe housing & limited healthcare. This bill would guarantee them the same protections as other workers statewide. NIC stands with farmworkers in the fight for basic rights. 🌾#NVLEG
I presented AB217 which ensures ICE cannot be on school grounds or work with officials without a SIGNED judicial warrant. Every student deserves to feel safe at school & I’m committed to ensuring our schools remain welcoming spaces for learning.

Driver Authorization Cards (DAC) are ✨exactly the same as a NV Drivers License✨ There's absolutely no 👏 reason 👏 why 👏 DACs 👏 should 👏 have 👏different 👏 renewal 👏 standards 👏 #NVLeg#AB140
A Nevada bill would make it a crime for a school employee to share information about a student with officers enforcing immigration laws just weeks after Trump rescinded a policy that banned immigration enforcement activities at schools

Thx Cecilia Gzlz for bringing forward a bill that would protect students who have an unauthorized relative or who themselves are Dreamers fr ICE. Schools should be safe spaces where students learn. CCSD is majority immigrant students. That’s our future. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/cg5KkO7sXl
