Nevada ACLU Sues Las Vegas Police

A lawsuit filed by the Nevada ACLU against the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) has intensified scrutiny over the department's cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

The suit, filed on October 13, targets the LVMPD's June 16 agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), alleging violations of individual rights in a case involving Sergio Morais-Hechacarria.

The claim is that Sergio Morais-Hechavarria was wrongfully transferred to ICE custody shortly after the ACLU filed its complaint.

The lawsuit raises concerns about unlawful detention practices that potentially undermine both state law and judicial authority.
