DOJ and State of Nevada Sign Immigration Enforcement Agreement; Nevada Removed from “Sanctuary State” List
Las Vegas, NV September 26, 2025
This afternoon, the Department of Justice released its signed Memorandum of Understanding on immigration enforcement with the State of Nevada.
The purpose of the agreement is to memorialize Governor Lombardo's efforts to ensure that Nevada policies are consistent with federal immigration enforcement, despite the Nevada Attorney General's attempts to make Nevada a sanctuary jurisdiction.
"Despite the Attorney General's attempts to implement sanctuary policies, Nevada is not a sanctuary state, has never been a sanctuary state, and will never be a sanctuary state under my leadership," said Governor Joe Lombardo. "The State's agreement with the Department of Justice today reaffirms our commitment to following federal immigration law in Nevada."
