Good Morning, Las Vegas: Protests develop overnight, car safety tips during increasing heat

KTNV — We wanted to let you know about some anti-ICE protests that began Wednesday night and how that developed overnight.

We also wanted to give you some reminders on how to keep those in your car and the car itself safe this summer.

Developing overnight: Anti-ICE protests in downtown Las Vegas lead to arrests, confrontations

Tensions ran high as hundreds took to the streets in protest. They called for an end to ICE and voiced strong opposition to immigration policies tied to the Trump Administration. Things escalated quickly from peaceful chants to clashes with police, dispersal orders and even arrests.

Ryan Ketcham was on the ground as it all unfolded.

Happening today: Henderson launches 'Check Your Seats in the Heat' campaign to prevent hot car tragedies

Today, the Henderson Fire Department is launching its annual " Check Your Seats in the Heat" safety campaign.

With these hot temperatures, this serves as a reminder that the inside of your car can quickly become an oven, which can be life-threatening for your family and your pets.

Channel 13 plans to be there later this morning for the department's live reenactment of a real-time response to a 911 call of a child left inside a hot car. Officials are also expected to share what to do if you ever find a child left in a hot car.

We were at last year's demonstration, showing just how dangerous the situation can get.

Keeping your car running as temperatures continue to rise

Extreme heat isn't just hard on you; it can be tough on your car, too.

We've already seen multiple people in our community post photos of blown-out tires on social media during this intense round of heat we're experiencing.

We want to help make sure that doesn't happen to you.
