Nevada Officials, Failing to Comply with Immigration Policy, State 2025
WASHINGTON – A new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the State of Nevada and the federal government has been announced, aimed at fully collaborating on immigration enforcement. This move comes after the State was initially listed as a sanctuary jurisdiction in August 2025, following President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order 14287.
The list published by the federal government included Nevada, which has now been updated following work between the State and federal authorities – the first removal since the list’s publishing. The decision marks a significant shift in Nevada’s stance on immigration enforcement, with officials working to comply with federal policy.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi released a statement in response to the MOU, emphasizing the federal government’s commitment to eradicating sanctuary policies across America. ‘The federal government is committed to eradicating sanctuary policies across America. We applaud Governor Lombardo and Nevada for taking necessary steps to fully comply with the Trump Administration’s immigration policy. This should serve as a reminder to other jurisdictions: come to the table and work with us instead of going to court.’
The MOU was signed following months of negotiations between the State of Nevada and federal authorities. While the specifics of the agreement remain unclear, it is understood that the State has agreed to fully collaborate with the federal government on immigration enforcement.
The implications of the MOU are significant, with the State of Nevada potentially avoiding further action from the federal government. However, critics argue that the agreement does not go far enough, with some calling for greater accountability from the State.
