Anti-Sanctuary State Ballot Measure Headed Back to Court

An anti sanctuary ballot measure that was blocked from the upcoming ballot is headed back to court. The appeal will be heard by the state Supreme Court May 8th. Supporters of the ballot measure have some challenges ahead, including legal ones, and then would have to gather more than 112 thousand signatures to make the ballot. The district judge who knocked it off the ballot, James Russell, ruled the proposal deals with more than one subject, and fails to explain the impacts of the initiative. Among the opponents is the Nevada ACLU. Spokesman Wesley Juhl says the bill is flawed and that the federal government doesn’t have the right to control state resources, while supporters argue sanctuary laws jeopardize public safety.
