Nevada SB 318 limits some state and local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement but stops short of full sanctuary status. Henderson Police follow Nevada law and informal welcoming practices without formal sanctuary designation.
Nevada SB 318 enacted partial limitations on state and local law enforcement participation in federal immigration detentions, particularly around honoring ICE detainers without judicial warrants. Henderson does not have a formal sanctuary city ordinance but follows Nevada state framework. HPD focuses on local crime enforcement and does not routinely inquire about immigration status during ordinary contacts. Federal cooperation continues through legitimate criminal investigations. Las Vegas and Clark County share similar practices. Residents seeking municipal services such as utility hookups or library cards are not asked about immigration status by Henderson agencies.
Not directly applicable to residents. Local agencies face legal review if they exceed federal cooperation beyond Nevada SB 318 limits or violate state-court detainer requirements.
