Let me understand your logic, so the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo gave all this land to US Government and anyone on the land can be removed? So for all of California and Texas the people need to leave?

The U.S. paid $15 million for the land acquired under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. Nevada disclaimed all rights and title to the land when it became a state in 1864 under the provisions of the Nevada Statehood Act. When Congress admitted Texas into the Union, it allowed the state to retain ownership of all unappropriated land within its borders. I haven't yet researched the provisions of California's admission to statehood.
With that said, there is a valid argument that Nevada's disclaim was unconstitutional under the Equal Footing Doctrine. See the details here.
So the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo gave all this land to US Government - yes
and anyone on the land can be removed - No.
Parcels of that land were given out sold distributed etc. Some of that land is in private hands. The land in question has never been sold by the US government and still belongs to the US Government as part of what is now called the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
