More than a week after the end of the special session, Gov. Joe Lombardo signed into law his marquee criminal justice package, which most notably will greenlight the revival of a court to deal with crimes exclusively committed on the Las Vegas Strip.

The wrongful death lawsuit alleges that the March 2025 death of a man in High Desert State Prison was caused by months of medical neglect by officials.

A revived version of Gov. Joe Lombardo’s sweeping criminal justice bill passed out of the legislature, aiming to reestablish a Resort Corridor Court that was criticized by civil liberties groups, but also incorporating Democratic proposals to restrict immigration enforcement in sensitive locations. 

The decision means criminal proceedings will continue in Clark County, where a jury would likely be more Democratic than other jurisdictions. The state has also pursued forgery charges in Carson City, but that case will likely be withdrawn.

Only 2 percent of mail-in ballot votes were received after election day in Nevada's two largest counties, Clark and Washoe.

The donation has raised concerns from government oversight experts about private donors’ influence on public departments and the boost to the Tesla brand.

The lawsuit argues that during previous federal government shutdowns, SNAP benefits have never been interrupted.

In a Thursday opinion, Judge David Campbell ruled that he stood by his disqualification decision, but was staying his earlier ruling. It means that Chattah will temporarily be able to stay involved in certain cases her office is prosecuting

In just a few years, overdoses in Nevada prisons have increased nearly tenfold, according to prisons director James Dzurenda. In 2021, the department only had 12 overdoses. In 2025, that number catapulted to 127 overdoses to date out of the system’s nearly 11,000 total inmates.

The decision from Justice of the Peace Derek Dreiling means the six defendants will be arraigned in district court, which is set for Oct. 27.

Still, the judge noted that evidence provided by Gilbert raises “serious questions of fact about the accuracy of Plaintiff’s allegations. However, the Court is bound, at this stage, to accept these allegations as true.”

The settlement was approved without comment at Tuesday's Board of Examiners meeting, two years after Walker's death.

Filed Monday, the ACLU lawsuit contends that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s partnership with ICE, known as 287(g), violates a legal doctrine that does not allow local agencies to exercise any powers unless specifically authorized by the Legislature.

With five lawsuits open against the Las Vegas City Marshals, The Indy explains what their role is, and how they differ from police officers.

The family — as well as some legal experts — contend that Lopez Gomez’s case highlights ICE’s lack of transparency on detainee whereabouts and their safety. Although many aspects about his case are not atypical — such as the manner of his arrest — the rare video footage and his daughter’s testimony shed light on what conditions can be like for ICE detainees in an increasingly tense political landscape.

Judge David Campbell wrote in a 32-page ruling that he is disqualifying Chattah from supervising prosecutions against four people who had challenged their indictments brought after the Department of Justice designated her as the state’s acting U.S. attorney. 

A federal judge in Las Vegas promised to make a decision by the end of the month, which is Tuesday, after oral arguments on a case challenging the legality of acting U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah’s position without Senate confirmation.

Gov. Joe Lombardo vetoed a bill that would have blocked ICE activity at schools, although Clark County’s superintendent says she has assurances that such activity will stay off campus.

Treasurer Zach Conine agreed to a settlement in a years-old wrongful termination lawsuit against his office that was set to go to trial later this month. 

In three federal court filings last week, the office argued that President Donald Trump’s administration pursued illegal “personnel maneuvers” that allowed Chattah to remain Nevada’s top federal law enforcement officer after her first stint as the interim U.S. attorney expired.
