When federal immigration agents killed two Americans in Minnesota, Guzmán Fralick defended their actions, claiming they were “trying to do a job” and following “orders.” Guzmán Fralick argued the aggressive and deadly immigration tactics were Trump doing the job Americans “elected [him] to do.”

¶ Guzmán Fralick Urged Local Law Enforcement To Cooperate With Federal Immigration Officials
2026: Guzmán Fralick Opposed Sanctuary Policies To Ensure Local Authorities Were “Free To Work With Federal Immigration Officials To Keep Dangerous Criminals Off Our Streets.” According to Adriana Guzmán Fralick for Attorney General, “Stopping Sanctuary Cities Nevada cannot afford to become a haven for criminals who break our immigration laws. Sanctuary policies tie the hands of law enforcement and put communities at risk by protecting dangerous offenders from deportation. Adriana stands with Governor Joe Lombardo and President Donald J. Trump in opposing sanctuary cities and will ensure Nevada never adopts these reckless policies. Local authorities must be free to work with federal immigration officials to keep dangerous criminals off our streets. Our state must always stand for the rule of law and put the safety of Nevadans first.”
