Las Vegas Jails Feed ICE: 2,700 Notices, 441 Pickups As Metro Signs 287(g) To Serve Immigration Warrants

Las Vegas Metro data show a sharp uptick in coordination with ICE since February 2025: nearly 2,700 jail notifications sent, 441 people picked up, and a new 287(g) agreement letting local officers serve immigration warrants and hold individuals up to 48 hours after release. Metro also broadened qualifying offenses to include theft and shoplifting. Advocates warn the “foreign-born” notification criteria could affect lawful residents and chill cooperation with police, while officials point to increased NDOC-ICE transfers. Transparency and due-process concerns are prompting ACLU scrutiny and potential litigation.
