Sheriff rejects requests to use Las Vegas officers for immigration enforcement
Las Vegas Review - Journal ^ | March 27, 2025 | Ricardo Torres-Cortez

Sheriff Kevin McMahill said Wednesday that he has turned down numerous requests from “various different federal agencies” to use the Metropolitan Police Department for immigration enforcement outside the agency’s limited role at the Clark County jail.

“And I just won’t do that,” McMahill told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, adding that his agency doesn’t have the resources to do so. “I’ve got a lot going on when it comes to crime here,” he added.

He noted that crime has continued to decrease in the last three years.

As President Donald Trump’s administration moves to fulfill his campaign promise of carrying out “mass deportations,” McMahill said Metro is complying with federal guidelines.

That includes its implementation of the Laken Riley Act, which expanded the types of crimes allegedly committed by migrants — and booked for — Metro reports to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

ICE then has a chance to pick up those inmates. But even after Trump took office for a second term, McMahill said the federal government did not have enough resources to take custody of all those persons.

“We tell them they’re going to be released between this time and this time, and they sometimes get them and sometimes don’t,” the sheriff said.

The crime rate only went down because leftist governments refused to report rising crime rates. This sheriff is deep state.

The hotels and casinos are worried they will have to hire Americans.

That is okay. I hope his opponent in the next election is taking notes.

“I’ve got a lot going on when it comes to crime here,”

And I cannot afford to have that crime decrease.

It’s time to federalize militias to do the grunt work.

Brilliant Sheriff. Maybe his crime would be decreasing even more if he assisted ICE in removing illegals from the country. Guess that beyond his brain power.
