Nevada Senator Cortez Masto reacted to the news of Broadacres’ closure by blaming Trump’s immigration policies.
“Instead of focusing on criminals, Trump is indiscriminately targeting immigrant communities and pushing places like Broadacres Marketplace to close,” Cortez Masto said in an X post. “These are innocent Nevadans working hard to build a better life. This president’s campaign of intimidation is cruel and un-American.”
Senator Jacky Rosen also basked the Trump administration following the closing of Broadacres.
“This is devastating and a direct result of the Trump Administration’s indiscriminate mass deportations. Around 20,000 people visit Broadacres every weekend. Going after law-abiding immigrants doesn’t just hurt families, it hurts our economy.”
