Story by Brie Stimson • 7h
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced on Friday that his office has filed a lawsuit against the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department over illegal immigration.
"I filed a lawsuit against St. Joseph County Sheriff [William] Redman and his department over their persistent practice of refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities," Rokita told reporters at the press conference in South Bend, Indiana.
He continued, "This includes refusing to notify ICE properly about the release of illegal aliens and also refusing to honor ICE detainers. This deliberate decision to not cooperate with federal immigration authorities is giving safe harbor to criminal aliens that need to be removed from our country and this county."
ICE detainers refers to people ICE asks local authorities to hold until an agent can take custody of them.
