On June 11, 2025, a downtown Las Vegas anti‑ICE protest drew around 800 participants. As authorities declared an unlawful assembly, confrontations erupted: protesters reportedly hurled water bottles and rocks at law enforcement, blocked roads, and vandalized buildings, resulting in 94 adult arrests, seven juvenile citations, and injuries to four Las Vegas Metro officers.
If you or someone you know was arrested during this demonstration — whether for refusing to disperse, property damage, or other related charges — it’s critical to understand your rights.
