Nevada has reached an agreement to cooperate with the federal government on immigration enforcement, earning the state its way off the Justice Department’s name-and-shame list for sanctuary jurisdictions on Friday.

Gov. Joe Lombardo, a Republican, signed the deal with the department, saying he will cooperate “to the extent allowed by law to ensure federal law is followed in immigration enforcement.”

Nevada is the first jurisdiction to work its way off the name-and-shame list, which was released in early August and still covers 11 states, 19 cities and four counties.

“The Department of Justice is committed to eradicating sanctuary policies across America. We applaud Governor Lombardo and Nevada for taking necessary steps to fully comply with the Trump administration’s immigration policy,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

Mr. Lombardo agreed to use federal emergency grant money to support local sheriffs who cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

He also pledged to look for ways to thwart state Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat, and the state legislature, where Democrats control both chambers.

Ms. Bondi said jurisdictions have a choice: either work on a deal or face the administration in court.

So far, the sanctuaries have been prevailing in those court cases as judges have rebuffed Trump lawsuits and ruled in favor of sanctuary jurisdictions that protested the loss of federal funds.
