Rokita Threatens Legal Action on IMPD, IPS Immigration Policies

News summary

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has issued warnings to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) and Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS), demanding they comply with federal immigration laws or face legal action. Rokita's letters highlight concerns regarding IMPD's refusal to enforce federal immigration laws and IPS's policy of requiring a judicial warrant for ICE access. He argues that Indiana law prohibits local entities from restricting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Both organizations have previously stated they do not inquire about individuals' immigration status and aim to foster safe environments for all, regardless of immigration status. Rokita emphasized that ICE can act based on administrative warrants, not just judicial ones, and that local authorities must assist in immigration enforcement. He has requested responses from both entities by February 27, warning of the legal implications of non-compliance.
