Las Vegas (KSNV) — President Trump's mass deportation agenda is stirring protests and concerns nationwide, with significant implications for Southern Nevada's economy.

Trump has expressed his intention to deport over ten million undocumented immigrants from the United States.

According to the Pew Research Center, Nevada is home to an estimated 190,000 undocumented individuals, comprising nearly nine percent of the state's workforce.

The potential removal of these workers raises fears of a substantial gap in the labor market.
