Right now, a major protest is unfolding in downtown Las Vegas.
It began earlier this evening near the federal courthouse and has grown louder, tenser, and more volatile by the minute.
The target? U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—ICE—and its recent immigration raids.
As of this hour, the protest is still active. Demonstrators are no longer confined to Las Vegas Boulevard and Clark, having been moved by law enforcement.
Live footage showed officers blocking off streets and slowly moving protestors away from government buildings.
They’re moving toward Fremont Street, bringing the unrest closer to the heart of the downtown tourist corridor.
Police remain on high alert. Officers in riot gear have declared the gathering an “unlawful assembly” and issued dispersal orders.
Tear gas has been used, with significant warning given, towards those unwilling to move.
Tensions are rising. Some protesters have thrown objects. The risk of escalation is real.
This protest is part of a coordinated wave of anti-ICE demonstrations taking place nationwide.

In Los Angeles, clashes have already led to over 200 arrests. In cities like New York and Chicago, the same chants are echoing.
Now, Las Vegas is joining that list—in real time.
What we’re seeing is the early heat before the real fire hits on June 14.
On Trump’s birthday — which also happens to be Flag Day and the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army — the “No Kings” movement is staging a national blowout.
Over 1,800 protests are locked in across all 50 states. It’s being pitches as a massive stand against “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and militarized democracy.”
Here we go…

The protest tonight in Las Vegas appears organized and intentional. Flyers circulated on social media helped draw the crowd.
Chants are amplified by megaphones. Mexican flags are the most visible among a mix of national banners, including American among other.
Peaceful protest is a right, but live footage shows protesters flirting with disorder.
Law enforcement isn’t just standing by—they’re issuing lawful commands.
When those are ignored, when rocks and fireworks are thrown, it stops being about free speech.
Many of those marching tonight say they’re standing up for human dignity. That belief deserves respect.
But our immigration laws exist for a reason. A country that cannot secure its borders cannot protect its citizens.
Enforcing those laws isn’t hatred. It’s what every sovereign nation must do.
Yes, immigration policy stirs emotion. And yes, the tactics of ICE absolutely deserve scrutiny.
But allowing unrest to spill into violence and criminal behavior isn’t acceptable, and officers on site are making that clear.
The situation downtown is still developing. Organizers have vowed to keep marching. Police are warning of arrests.
The city watches, caught between the right to protest and the duty to keep order.
