In fiscal year 2009, the U.S. attorney's office in Nevada filed 206 such prosecutions, the vast majority for illegal re-entry into the country. That was up from 162 last year and only 67 two years ago, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse , a nonprofit group at Syracuse University that tracks federal law enforcement activities.
The prosecution numbers in Nevada last year fell short of levels reached earlier last decade, but partial data from this year suggests Nevada will see more immigration-related prosecutions and convictions than ever before.
