The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada has filed a lawsuit in the First Judicial District Court challenging State Sen. Michael Roberson’s anti-immigrant ballot initiative. They say the entire “Prevent Sanctuary Cities Initiative” – from the language of the proposed amendment, to the description of effect – is misleading to voters. Even the term “sanctuary cities” is deceptive, pejorative, and lacks a legal definition. ACLU of Nevada Executive Director Tod Story says “Nevada’s police departments and state and local governments have proven again and again that they are complying with all federal requirements relating to immigration law. This pointless, poorly crafted petition would only serve to alienate Nevada’s immigrant communities, from local police officers making our communities more vulnerable to crime and overall worse off.”
