A hidden-camera video purports to show an employee of the Nevada Division of Welfare and Supportive Services telling an undercover journalist that, “I bend the rules a lot,” when facilitating emergency medical services for undocumented immigrants.

The footage’s release Thursday by James O’Keefe, a self-described “Guerilla Journalist,” drew condemnation and prompted Gov. Joe Lombardo to announce an investigation into the matter.

“My office is aware of the allegations of misconduct stemming from a recent viral video,” Lombardo wrote in a statement. “I want to assure Nevadans that this incident will be thoroughly investigated.”

“Furthermore, if the investigation determines that an unlawful act has been committed, we will seek prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.”
