联邦法官签发有限禁令:禁止拉斯维加斯警方对一名抗议者使用胡椒弹

内华达州克拉克县拉斯维加斯市的联邦法院10月31日签发一项有限禁令,禁止拉斯维加斯都会警察局向一名特定抗议者发射胡椒弹,除非她出现攻击行为或对公共安全构成即时威胁。

据《拉斯维加斯评论报》报道,美国联邦地区法院首席法官 Andrew Gordon 在抗议者 Kathleen Cavalaro 提起的案件中签发了这项禁令。禁令仅适用于 Cavalaro 个人,并非全部门范围的胡椒弹禁令。法官在裁决中批评了警员处置抗议的方式,写道警员在 Cavalaro 服从离开命令时从背后以胡椒弹击中她,跟随她沿人行道继续走开,随后将她束带逮捕;法官还写道,都会警察局「似乎没有充分认识到警员行为的不当之处」。

Cavalaro 曾于2025年6月参加在拉斯维加斯市中心举行的数千人集会,抗议联邦政府的移民执法手段,那次抗议有100多人被捕,市检察官办公室后来决定不对其中90人(包括 Cavalaro)提起起诉。报道指出,另有一名被捕女性已就同一事件与警方达成32.5万美元和解。截至报道发出时,警方对禁令的回应尚未见报,案件仍在发展中。

Federal Judge Bars Las Vegas Police From Using Pepperballs on One Protester

A federal court in Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, issued a limited injunction on October 31 barring the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department from firing pepperballs at one specific protester unless she becomes assaultive or presents an immediate threat to public safety.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Chief U.S. District Judge Andrew Gordon issued the injunction in a case brought by protester Kathleen Cavalaro. The order applies to her individually; it is not a department-wide ban on pepperballs. In his ruling, Gordon criticized how officers handled the protest, writing that officers hit Cavalaro in the back with a pepperball while she was complying with an order to leave, followed her down the sidewalk as she kept walking away, zip-tied her and arrested her. He also wrote that Metro "does not appear to adequately recognize the wrongfulness of the officers' conduct."

Cavalaro was among thousands who rallied in downtown Las Vegas in June 2025 against the federal government's immigration enforcement tactics; more than 100 people were arrested, and the city attorney's office later chose not to prosecute 90 of them, including Cavalaro. Another woman arrested that day has reached a $325,000 settlement with the department, the newspaper reported. Metro's response to the injunction had not been reported as of the story's posting, and the case is still developing.
