Las Vegas police issue dispersal order for protestors in downtown area
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Hundreds of people gathered outside the Las Vegas Federal Courthouse in the downtown area in protest against federal immigration enforcement taking place nationwide. The protest remained peaceful along Las Vegas Boulevard near Clark Avenue on Wednesday night around 7 p.m. Flags and signs were carried by many who gathered as police monitored the area closely. By 8:30 p.m., several more people had gathered near the courthouse, bringing with them U.S. and Mexico flags. Around 9 p.m. Las Vegas Metro police issued a dispersal order and declared an unlawful assembly at Las Vegas Boulevard and Clark Avenue 'due to protestors engaging in illegal activity.' Failure to leave the area can result in arrest or citation, according to police. Las Vegas Boulevard near Clark Avenue emptied about 15 minutes after police issued the order Wednesday night. ACLU of Nevada Executive Director Athar Haseebullah posted to social media Wednesday night saying: 'We have legal observers on the ground who have just advised officers using pepperballs on protestors. Dispersal order from LVMPD, not audible to all, declared unlawful assembly without clarity on what unlawful activity existed during peaceful protest with large crowd size.'
