Broadacres Marketplace Reopens After Shuttering Over Immigration Fears
The shutdown displaced more than 1,100 small businesses — including food vendors like Birria de Res Zacatecas, Pupuseria El Cordero, and Las Enchiladas de Mama, who sell everything from handmade pupusas and birria tacos to mango chamoy snacks. The abrupt halt highlighted the deep unease rippling through immigrant communities as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) steps up operations in Nevada.
Since 1977, the 45-acre marketplace has served the communities of North Las Vegas — where the population is 41 percent Latino residents, according to 2024 Census data — and the larger Southern Nevada community. The doors will open at 4 p.m. on Friday and opening weekend will be marked by family-friendly activities, kids' attractions, and a food fair with restaurant and snack vendors.
Broadacres announced the reopening on Instagram and several vendors and customers commented with both excitement and trepidation — calling for clearer guidance on what steps are being taken to protect the community. Representatives from Broadacres Marketplace did not respond to a request for comment.

Gen Xer is qualified but can't land a job — he thinks this is the bizarre reason why: ‘I may never ever get hired again'
He's too old for this. A Gen Xer sparked a fiery conversation about ageism in the workplace — and many agreed with his sentiment. 'I may never ever get hired again,' Bradley Richardson, a 58-year-old who now peddles 'adulting' courses online, said in an Instagram video. He claimed that despite having skills and experience, he believes his age now disqualifies him from traditional employment. 'I will make money, but I may never be an employee or get a job ever again because of my age,' he said. His post quickly gained traction with nearly 30,000 likes and over 4,000 comments. Richardson's concerns resonated with many Gen Xers and Boomers, who echoed his sentiment that ageism is a real barrier in today's job market. Some pointed to the added challenges faced by older workers from marginalized communities, where their race, gender, and sexuality further worsen the discrimination. A survey conducted by resume-building site Resume Now proved all of their worries to be true. It pointed out that, sadly, 90% of workers over the age of 40 have experienced ageism in the workplace, and almost half of the respondents witnessed their employer hiring predominantly young workers. Many people empathized with the Gen Xer in the comment section of his viral video. 'I'm 46 and I'm already feeling it in my industry.' 'I'm 42 and I feel this hard.' Many people in the comment section of his video also believe ageism in the workplace is a real thing. Prostock-studio – Others insisted their skills remain valuable and said they continue to find work with companies that prioritize experience and reliability. 'I was thinking the very same at the age of 58 I needed to find work. Took a few months but it happened. Best company ever. I'm old enough to be everyone's father but they love me and I love them.' Many others in the comment section had encouraging words for the Gen Xer. Prostock-studio – 'I just hired a 60 and 63 yo because they were amazing candidates. Age doesn't matter.' 'I got a job at 62. I just turned 65, told the company I think I want to retire. They told me 'you can't leave us' and handed me an 8% raise. Good people can always get a job at any age!' If you think you are experiencing ageism where you work — maybe you got laid off due to your age or passed up for a promotion by a younger colleague — Midtown East attorney Albert Rizzo suggests speaking to an employment attorney. 'An attorney will want to understand what actions the employer has taken and whether those actions were based on the employee's age,' said Rizzo. 'Any adverse action may create a viable claim. These actions can include failure to promote, denial of privileges given to other employees, exclusion from meetings and projects.'

President Donald Trump signs order imposing new tariffs
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that set new tariffs on a wide swath of U.S. trading partners to go into effect on Aug. 7 — the next step in his trade agenda that will test the global economy and sturdiness of American alliances built up over decades. The order was issued shortly after 7 p.m. on Thursday evening. It came after a flurry of tariff-related activity in the last several days, as the White House announced agreements with various nations and blocs ahead of the president's self-imposed Friday deadline. The tariffs are being implemented at a later date in order for the rates schedule to be harmonized, according to a senior administration official who spoke to reporters on a call on the condition of anonymity. After initially threatening the African nation of Lesotho with a 50% tariff, the country's goods will now be taxed at 15%. Taiwan will be tariffed at 20%, Pakistan at 19% and Israel, Iceland, Fiji, Ghana, Guyana and Ecuador among the countries with imported goods taxed at 15%. The order capped off a hectic Thursday as nations sought to continue negotiating with Trump. It set the rates for 68 countries and the 27-member European Union, with a baseline 10% rate to be charged on countries not listed in the order. The senior administration official said the rates were based on trade imbalance with the U.S. and regional economic profiles. On Thursday morning, Trump engaged in a phone conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on trade. As a result of the conversation, the U.S. president said he would enter into a 90-day negotiating period with Mexico, one of the nation's largest trading partners, with the current 25% tariff rates staying in place, down from the 30% he had threatened earlier. 'We avoided the tariff increase announced for tomorrow and we got 90 days to build a long-term agreement through dialogue,' Mexican leader Claudia Sheinbaum wrote on X after a call with Trump that he referred to as 'very successful' in terms of the leaders getting to know each other better. The unknowns created a sense of drama that has defined Trump's rollout of tariffs over several months, with the one consistency being his desire to levy the import taxes that most economists say will ultimately be borne to some degree by U.S. consumers and businesses. 'We have made a few deals today that are excellent deals for the country,' Trump told reporters on Thursday afternoon without detailing the terms of those agreements or nations involved. The senior administration official declined to reveal the nations that have new deals during the call with reporters. Trump said that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had called ahead of 35% tariffs being imposed on many of his nation's goods, but 'we haven't spoken to Canada today.' Trump imposed the Friday deadline after his previous 'Liberation Day' tariffs in April resulted in a stock market panic. His unusually high tariff rates unveiled in April led to recession fears, prompting Trump to impose a 90-day negotiating period. When he was unable to create enough trade deals with other countries, he extended the timeline and sent out letters to world leaders that simply listed rates, prompting a slew of hasty deals. Trump reached a deal with South Korea on Wednesday, and earlier with the European Union, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines. His commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, said on Fox News Channel's 'Hannity' that there were agreements with Cambodia and Thailand after they had agreed to a ceasefire to their border conflict. Going into Thursday, wealthy Switzerland and Norway were still uncertain about their tariff rates. EU officials were waiting to complete a crucial document outlining how the framework to tax imported autos and other goods from the 27-member state bloc would operate. Trump had announced a deal Sunday while he was in Scotland. Trump said as part of the agreement with Mexico that goods imported into the U.S. would continue to face a 25% tariff that he has ostensibly linked to fentanyl trafficking. He said autos would face a 25% tariff, while copper, aluminum and steel would be taxed at 50% during the negotiating period. He said Mexico would end its 'Non Tariff Trade Barriers,' but he didn't provide specifics. Some goods continue to be protected from the tariffs by the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, which Trump negotiated during his first term. But Trump appeared to have soured on that deal, which is up for renegotiation next year. One of his first significant moves as president was to impose tariffs on goods from both Mexico and Canada earlier this year. U.S. Census Bureau figures show that the U.S. ran a $171.5 billion trade imbalance with Mexico last year. That means the U.S. bought more goods from Mexico than it sold to the country. The imbalance with Mexico has grown in the aftermath of the USMCA, as it was only $63.3 billion in 2016, the year before Trump started his first term in office.
