Latino agency develops position on immigration raids - Nevada

Jesse Gutierrez, executive director of Reno-based Nevada Hispanic Services, said the agency’s board of directors will write a position paper, which is expected to be released later in the year, on immigration issues and arrests. He said the board wants to formalize its positions because such issues are ongoing and the agency often is asked about its official stance.

In September, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 54 people at 11 area McDonald’s restaurants and two elsewhere. At the time, ICE agents said the raids were part of an effort “to focus on employers who build in hiring illegal workers as part of their business practice.”"*
