LAS VEGAS — Noe Diaz, a North Las Vegas nursing student, would have been delighted to pursue a career in law enforcement.
But Diaz — a Mexican-born immigrant brought to the United States at age 1 — immediately faced a crucial roadblock: He is not a U.S. citizen, which is a requirement to become a police officer in Nevada.
This upcoming legislative session, the city of North Las Vegas aims to change that with its proposed Assembly Bill 30.
