President Donald Trump has said his administration plans to revoke the citizenship of naturalized immigrants who are convicted of defrauding Americans—but legal experts say doing so isn’t straightforward and the law restricts when citizenship can be taken away.

A federal judge in Boston last September issued a landmark ruling that the Trump administration deliberately chilled the speech of international students with a string of targeted arrests intended to “strike fear” in demonstrators and academics critical of Israel’s conduct in Gaza. Now Judge William G. Young will decide what should be done about that violation.

Of the 124 deportation flights that stopped in Nevada in 2025, nearly three-fifths were operated by Avelo. The airline is ending its ICE contract, citing costs.

Professor Michael Kagan is a noted scholar of international refugee law and immigrant rights in the United States. Before coming to the Boyd School of Law in 2011, Professor Kagan spent 10 years building legal aid programs for refugees throughout the Middle East and Asia. In addition to directing the UNLV Immigration Clinic, he has consulted on hundreds of criminal cases involving non-citizens with the Clark County Public Defender. We selected Professor Kagan as one of the City Cast 7 in 2025 because of his tireless work advocating for immigrant rights in a year when those rights are under steady and increasing attack. His research, public speaking, and role as a mentor and teacher to the next generation of immigration lawyers has created a space for clarity and hope in a time of fear and confusion.

The number of Mountain West law-enforcement agencies that have agreed to collaborate with the federal government’s immigration enforcement efforts has risen significantly since January. Signed agreements, known as 287(g), rose from 10 to 54 in seven Mountain West states.

The ICE arrest of a youth soccer coach at his green card interview sparked headlines and protests in Salt Lake City. When KUER asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement why Jair Celis was arrested, the official statement was that he overstayed his visa. When The Salt Lake Tribune reported on his plight, ICE didn’t respond to their inquiries. Instead, they later got a response from Homeland Security on social media.

Early on in President Donald Trump’s administration, top officials eyed 75 daily immigration arrests across each of the 25 field offices run by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, an analysis of daily arrest data through mid-October shows that many field offices (including the one covering Nevada) are failing to meet this threshold.

Advocates are raising concerns about a report from Immigration and Customs Enforcement showing a 31% increase in Nevada detainees since mid-September, with one activist saying detention facilities here are not equipped to house and care for the expanded population.
