LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Congresswoman Susie Lee held a town hall with the Las Vegas Iranian community on Saturday morning.

“This vote is about sending a clear message: in America, we have laws that apply to everyone – including law enforcement,” Lee said in a statement. “We must restore checks and balances to ensure ICE abides by the Constitution.”

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — U.S. Congresswomen Susie Lee and Dina Titus from Las Vegas are urging a transparent investigation into the Minnesota shooting, where a mother of three was shot and killed by an ICE agent.

“While the President’s decision to take action to protect families and expand access to homeownership is a step in the right direction, we must provide more than temporary assistance,” Lee wrote in a statement to The Indy. “Congress must pass the HOME Act to go after more of these Big Corporate Landlords so we can lower costs and protect our families, seniors, and veterans from predatory practices.”

In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, a group of Nevada lawmakers raised concerns about changes to travel rules. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, along with Representatives Steven Horsford, Dina Titus, and Susie Lee, make up this group. They claim the new rules will increase the personal information travelers must provide through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization. The lawmakers warn that these changes will create new challenges for visitors. This comes at a time when Nevada still struggles with the effects of tariffs, higher living costs, and problems related to federal immigration enforcement.

The letter, which is signed by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto; Sen. Jacky Rosen; Rep. Dina Titus; Rep. Steven Horsford; and, Rep. Susie Lee, asks Noem to rescind and revise the proposed rules with input from local political and industry leaders in order to strike the “appropriate balance between safeguarding national security and preserving the economic vitality of states like Nevada.”

Rep. Susie Lee’s (D-NV) reaction to the operation encapsulated how Democrats in Nevada’s congressional delegation feel: “I believe that Maduro should have gone,” she said, “but I wish there would have been more than a concept of a plan for what we do next.”

The bipartisan bill was introduced by Congresswoman Susie Lee and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. It allows the Bureau of Reclamation, which testified in support of the bill, to access about $50 million in funds for Hoover Dam operations and maintenance.
