Joe Lombardo on Wednesday emphasized protest rights under the First Amendment but said he didn’t want to speculate on the recent killings of two Minnesota demonstrators by federal immigration agents. “As a career law enforcement officer, I know better than to draw conclusions related to law enforcement action without having all the facts at my disposal and I encourage all Americans to attempt to do the same,” Lombardo said. Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat challenging Lombardo in the 2026 elections, had said Immigration and Customs Enforcement had overstepped its authority. Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nevada, on Tuesday joined the chorus of Nevada congressional colleagues by calling for the Trump administration to pivot its approach to immigration enforcement in Minnesota.
