The closed primaries, Orange is the New Black's Diane Guerrero on being separated from her family, NFL Raiders in Las Vegas

The impact of a closed primary in a state that's mostly Democrat, Diane Guerrero's struggle after her family was deported back to Colombia, are the Raiders considering a move to Las Vegas?

LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 05:  Voters go to the polls for Super Tuesday primaries in the predominantly Latino neighborhood of Boyle Heights on February 5, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Latinos are an increasingly important factor in California where they are expected to account for 14 percent of the vote and tend to favor presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) over rival Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). At 44 million, Latinos make up15 percent of the US population, the nation's largest minority group according to the latest Census Bureau estimates.  (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
