Trump's Deportation Plans: Legal, Economic, and Community Impacts

Nevada's leaders and industries are largely unprepared for the economic and social impacts of President-elect Donald Trump's plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, including 189,000 in Nevada. The plan, which could cost up to $968 billion over a decade, threatens to remove a significant portion of Nevada's workforce, particularly in construction, hospitality, and agriculture, potentially devastating the state's economy. Despite the looming threat, Nevada's political and business leaders have not developed concrete strategies to counter or mitigate the effects of mass deportations.
