Henderson Says No to ICE, What the School Board Actually Does, and What to Do this Weekend

Henderson's police chief just rejected ICE's request to expand its presence in Southern Nevada, but will that squash ICE's attempts at gaining a larger footprint in the valley? A listener fired up about the CCSD school board inspired us to break down what the board actually does, what decisions it has made this year, and what's at stake with three seats up for reelection. Plus, in our Weekend Lookahead, we share where to catch a great ballet show, a spot in the Arts District perfect for meeting new people, and our love for First Friday. Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with Nevada Current Deputy Editor April Corbin Girnus and NPR Mountain West News Bureau regional reporter Yvette Fernandez.
