LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has signed a bill set to increase penalties against animal cruelty known as “Reba’s law”, according to Assemblymember Melissa Hardy.

‘Reba’s Law’ will strengthen animal cruelty penalties against those who commit these crimes.

The bill is named after Reba the bulldog who was found trapped in a bin on a hot day last summer behind a grocery store near UNLV.

As the bill moved through the legislature it was killed out of the process but then quickly brought back to life.

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Kate Marshall may be most recognizable as Nevada’s Lieutenant Governor where she presided over the state senate, or as Nevada’s Treasurer.

All elected positions and those that required leadership.

“How can we find solutions to real problems,” says Marshall when asked about the Reno Mayor post. “And quite frankly that’s the mayor’s job. Mayors are where the rubber meets the road.”

Marshall says Reno is a great place to live.

Which is why people have moved here.

But that has meant growth and other problems directly and indirectly.

“Talk about childcare,” says Marshall about one of her priorities should she win office. “I can’t say to a teacher or nurse not only can’t you afford to live here but good luck getting childcare. Quite frankly it is unacceptable to say to a firefighter gosh I need you to come here and work here. I need you to keep our community safe. We are going to start you off at $67,000 a year. But you are not going to be able to live here.”

Marshall says any decisions she makes as mayor will revolve around what is best for Reno residents.

She says those decisions will be based on questions she asks.

“What can I do that’s the next best thing for the people of Reno,” says Marshall. “You have to put the people of Reno, they are, we are front and center. And then you are going to move from there. And then you are going to build consensus and listen to the other members of the council. It is something that I have to do in every job I’ve been in; that was getting to yes.”

She says the city’s budget is in crisis. But she’s dealt with that before.

She was Nevada State Treasurer during the “Great Recession.”

“One of the things I did was go to the Wall Street Banks clawed back $50,000,000 in Nevada taxpayer money,” says Marshall. “I’m going to tell people. Here is how I do things. Here is my experience. And I am going to work really, really, hard to earn your support.”

Marshall will announce her candidacy officially for Reno Mayor on June 10th, 2025. She won’t be alone.

Last time the mayor’s race had 19 candidates during the primary.

The world’s most popular TikToker was detained in Nevada by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday. After a social media influencer broke the news on X that Khaby Lame had been detained by ICE, the agency confirmed the news in a statement to AFP and Men’s Journal. “US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations,” it reads. “Lame entered the United States April 30 and overstayed the terms of his visa. Lame was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the US.”

Lame, who shot to fame making silent comedy videos on TikTok after losing his job at a factory in Italy amid the COVID-19 pandemic, has posted on both TikTok and Instagram since his brief detention, though he did not address the situation. It’s not clear where he traveled after leaving Las Vegas. The X influencer who first reported news of Lame’s detention claims to be the person who reported him to authorities. He also posted, “If you discover any illegal aliens or illegal activity, contact ICE’s Tip Line.” Lame has more than 162 million followers on TikTok.
