Broken Promises: Immigration, ICE, and the Fallout in Las Vegas – A Conversation with Fernando Romero
In this powerful episode of Middle Ground, host Tom Letizia sits down with Fernando Romero, President of Hispanics in Politics, to unpack the growing crisis around immigration enforcement, community fear, and federal inaction. From the closure of Broadacres Market to the ambush attacks on ICE agents, Romero speaks candidly about the tensions on the ground in Las Vegas.
They tackle the controversial 287(g) agreement signed by Sheriff Kevin McMahill, backed by Governor Joe Lombardo and Mayor Shelley Berkley, and the chilling effects it may have on undocumented families. Romero doesn’t hold back when pointing the finger at Congress for decades of failure to reform immigration policy.
It’s a no-spin, must-hear conversation on the human and political consequences of a system that hasn’t been overhauled since 1986.
