“The majority of those arrested during the Las Vegas area sweep are Mexican nationals. The Mexican Consulate’s office was extra busy with people scared and worried that they might be next.

It was a line that seemed never ending Thursday at the Mexican Consulate’s office. Mexicans waiting for their turn to ask questions about “ICE’s” round up operation.

Guillermo Lopez and his wife are here illegally and heard about this week’s operation. Lopez said, “We don’t want to be deported. We want to find out what needs to be done in order for us to stay. We have been here for years. We have kids, grandkids. All who are here.”"
