🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day for All 🇺🇸🇺🇸

This month and every month, we celebrate our LGBTQ staff, students and especially our clients who have shown incredible bravery to find safety and acceptance for who they are. We stand by our neighbors. And also, this is Vegas, so we plan to celebrate again in October. 🌈

Our statement regarding ICE arrests at the Las Vegas Immigration Court

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal judge blocks immigration authorities from revoking international students' legal status nationwide.

We stand by our neighbors. Now more than ever. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/b...

We have been warning about this since April 9, when FBI agents began visiting the homes of children we represent. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I was able to talk about the danger to one of our clients at @unlvimmigration.bsky.social (co-counsel with @aclunv.bsky.social), and the absurdity of giving someone just 24 hour warning that he might be sent to a foreign prison, never to return. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The men include: - Stiven Prieto, a barber who has tattoos relating to his job - Omar Cárdenas, an H-E-B- employee whose pocketwatch tattoo was labeled TDA - Gregori Díaz, arrested in North Carolina, who has tattoos of Pikachu, Mario, stars, and a rose. - José Caldera, whose partner is a citizen.

Client released from detention, home safe with his family. Onward. #HomeIsHere

Another wise youth received their residency this week. Thank you for the reminder—we can do this ✨ #unlvimmigrationclinic #HereToStay

@unlv.edu Acting Officer in Charge Chris Heavey today: “We will not back away from celebrating and serving all of our diverse communities. Diversity is an inherent part of the human condition and we are blessed to have an abundance of it on our campus. It is a strength and point of pride.”

So incredibly proud of these two, Sara Kerby and Blanca Peña. Some lawyers never argue a case at this level their whole careers. Even fewer argue as well. #unlvimmigration

Clinic student attorneys Sara Kerby and Blanca Peña argued before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals today. I know we’re biased but we’re pretty sure they cooked ✨ We couldn’t be prouder of them. #unlvimmigration

Message from @unlv.bsky.social President Keith Whitfield

As the new semester gets going, remember that we offer free immigration legal assistance to the UNLV community, especially students. We start with a simple consultation. We are often able to offer more help depending on the case. Schedule an appointment here: law.unlv.edu/.../immigr.....

CORRECTING MYTHS AND FEARS: An immigration “warrant” is not like a normal arrest warrant. Regular warrants are signed by judges. Immigration warrants are not. You should not let ICE into your home if they only have an immigration warrant.
