SPEAKER(S): Present
DISCUSSION: The Director of the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) Immigration Clinic, Michael Kagan, provided a summarization of the services provided by the UNLV Immigration Clinic (the Clinic), and introduced Assemblywoman Selena Torres, who advised that the Clinic provided deportation defense services for children and detained adults, and requested that the Board approve an appropriation of $250,000 each year for the next two years which would support the efforts of the Clinic which provided deportation defense services for children and detained adults, and additionally urged that Clark County apply to join the Vera Institute SAFE (Safety & Fairness for Everyone) Initiative, which would provide an additional $100,000 to the cause; stated that during the 2021 legislative session, the Nevada Hispanic Legislative caucus advocated for Nevada to become one of the first states to appropriate funding for deportation defense through the allocation of $500,000 to the Clinic; advised that with the assistance of a lawyer, individuals had a greater chance of avoiding a deportation order; that the additional funding would help Nevadans get out of detention, back to work, kept families together, and demonstrated that Nevada and Clark County stood by immigrants in the community; shared that State and County funded deportation defense reduced the financial public burden of separated families on Social Services and Child Welfare programs; ensured that the most vulnerable Nevadans had access to legal representation; advised that from 2020 to 2021 there were 898 children and 588 adults unrepresented in immigration courts; and that the UNLV Immigration Clinic was the only institution that provided free deportation defense to those in detention.
The Board then received a presentation from UNLV Immigration Clinic Director Kagan regarding the UNLV Immigration Clinic Edward M. Bernstein & Associates Children’s Rights Program which included history of the origin of the clinic that dated back to 2014; details on the services provided by the Clinic included deportation defense for children and detained adults, as well as free immigration legal assistance to students, staff, and family members of the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) or UNLV through University Legal Services; that the focused efforts for children’s deportation defense was provided by the Edward M. Bernstein & Associates Children’s Rights Program; during fiscal year (FY) 2020 and 2021, there were 898 deportation cases filed against juveniles with no lawyer, with 305 in FY 2021 alone; there was some pro-bono work provided by attorneys; shared images of handprints on display that were created during a ceremony that was performed for every child who had received asylum or legal residency; regarding detention cases, two years ago the Clinic entered into a partnership with a New York organization, Immigration Justice Courts, where adults in immigration detention were defended for free; 176 new cases were started this fiscal year for adults in detention; approximately three out of four people in detention did not have legal representation; AB376 appropriated $500,000 funding over a period of two years to the Clinic which was to be used to open a new office and expand partnerships; the Clinic needed to relocate from the UNLV campus due to challenges with logistics and the increased benefit of relocation to areas where the most people would be served; UNLV was in negotiations with the City of Las Vegas for reasonably priced office options; announced the formation of a Community Advisory Committee comprised of community leaders that would guide the expansion of the Clinic and included Amey Evaluna, Program Coordinator for Community Engagement & Diversity Initiatives at Nevada State College (NSC); Ozzie Fumo, Senior Partner, Pitaro & Fumo Law Firm; Paloma Guerrero, Clark County Public Defender; Martha Menendez, Immigrant Justice Corps Fellow, UNLV Immigration Clinic Staff, LaLo Montoya, political director at Make the Road Nevada; Maria Nieto, Nevada State Coordinator, Mi Familia Vota; Esther Pla-Cazares, Counselor, School of Business Hospitality & Public Services, CSN; Mariana Sarmiento Hernández, Resource Coordinator at UNLV Office of Diversity Initiatives; and Assemblywoman Selena Torres; a County match of the $250,000 State AB376 appropriations would be applied towards the funding of approximately five attorneys and three paralegals, depending on office space budgets; and that more than 40 local governments nationally had contributed to deportation defense.
Commissioner Tick Segerblom spoke in support of providing the match to the AB376 funding; confirmed that it was the intent for the overage of cannabis taxable revenues to be used for this type of project; that there currently was no process in place for distribution of those funds; and that staff should move forward to create the processes necessary for fund distribution.
Commissioner William McCurdy expressed appreciation to everyone involved with this effort and urged colleagues to support this critical step towards supporting community members.
Commissioner Ross Miller shared an experience while working on a pro bono asylum case with the UNLV Immigration Clinic for two young girls from El Salvador who were being detained and threatened with deportation; and expressed support for the initiative.

| 70. | Discuss modifying the interlocal agreement with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) for the Wedding Tourism Fund to market the Las Vegas wedding industry. (For possible action)
Agenda note: DISCUSSION: Commissioner Jim Gibson commented on the funds and efforts dedicated to market wedding tourism, had met with Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) leadership and marketing professionals, the Clark County Clerk (Clerk), and others in the wedding industry multiple times and it was agreed upon by all that changes could be made to increase wedding tourism; proposed that, based on input by Legal Counsel, the interlocal agreement with the LVCVA be amended if necessary, and that the Clerk be granted $250,000 of the $750,000 allocated to LVCVA for the discharge of her responsibility as related to the marketing of wedding tourism and the Marriage License Bureau; stressed the importance of supporting the wedding tourism industry; further stated that it was critical that the Board receive a report from the Clerk at end of the year that would be used as a tool of measurement on the outcome from the use of those funds; input from the LVCVA regarding how marketing campaigns would be handled moving forward was expected; funds were allocated by the state for this purpose, and was viewed as an opportunity to do something different by both the Clerk and the LVCVA to promote wedding tourism.
Commissioner Tick Segerbom advised that when the bill was passed in Legislation, it was intended for the key County wedding industry staff to control the funds and supported the reallocation.
Commissioner Michael Naft expressed support of the 75/25 split provided there was accountability from all parties involved.
Commissioner McCurdy was also in support of the reallocation and expressed appreciation to the Clerk and Clerk’s staff for their efforts to enhance the Las Vegas wedding experience.
Commissioner Jim Gibson made a motion for approval of the modification of the arrangement with the LVCVA regarding the marketing of wedding tourism with the condition that there be a report at the end of the fiscal year that reflected outcomes and a measurement of how the funds were spent.
Legal Counsel advised that a motion was not necessary based on the wording of the item, and that sufficient direction was provided to staff for possible modification to the interlocal agreement regarding wedding tourism funds, and that any revisions be presented to the Board for review and approval.
County management clarified that, dependent on the amount of funds collected, the direction was to guarantee the allocation of $250,000 to the Clerk, with any remaining funds directed to the LVCVA.
Commissioner Jim Gibson stated that per Chair Marilyn Kirkpatrick, one of the first items to be addressed was the re-evaluation of the availability of marriage license services to residents in Mesquite, and that task was to be included as part of the direction to staff. | Approved |
