Las Vegas Family Sues School District Over Teen's ICE Sticker Expulsion, Seeking More Than $15,000

Summary
A federal lawsuit filed May 14 says Clark County School District expelled a Las Vegas student after he posted pro-ICE stickers a day after anti-ICE walkouts, violating his First Amendment rights and retaliating against protected speech.
School officials allegedly labeled the stickers a racially motivated incident, compared them to a burning cross, and cited Chromebook searches on Martin Luther King Jr., James Earl Ray and ICE images as evidence of racism.
The family says hundreds of students joined anti-ICE walkouts on Jan. 21 without comparable punishment, framing the case as viewpoint discrimination rather than a neutral discipline decision.
N.C. was suspended, then recommended for limited expulsion through multiple administrative reviews before his family withdrew him from the district, saying the appeals process was stacked against him.
The suit seeks more than $15,000, removal of the expulsion from his record and reinstatement in good standing; the district said it does not comment on pending litigation but honors students' First Amendment rights.
