This year, the immigrant community in Las Vegas has been rocked by the intensification of ICE detentions (just look at the abrupt closure of Broadacres this summer, for example). But Professor Michael Kagan, who runs the UNLV Immigration Clinic, explains to co-host Dayvid Figler why things are likely to get much, much worse next year — and what we can do in the face of it all.
