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.
He said the sheriff’s actions would cause more migrants in the country illegally to come to St. Joseph County and commit crimes.
"I refuse as your attorney general to just stand by and watch the lawlessness happen from law enforcement officials," he added.
Rokita said the Sheriff’s Department remains noncompliant with Indiana law after multiple attempts to communicate with the sheriff.
He noted that despite the lawsuit, Indiana will continue to support its law enforcement, "but we will also hold those who deserve to be held accountable, accountable."
"My office will not stop in our work here on this issue until the law is followed and we put our people first over illegal aliens," he said.

We have learned from the left’s successful tactic—it is now about to be unleashed on them:
Name them.
Shame them.
Hold them accountable.
bttt
But, this begs the question, what was going on a month ago when SloJo and the Ho were still coddling the illegals? Where was this ‘fine’ AG, then?
I can’t help but think that a lot of what we are seeing with this stuff, currently, is just re-posturing and seeking some degree of approval from the DJT admin.
Time will tell.
8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens
Isn’t St. Joseph County near where buttplug is from?
Impeach the sonofabitch for placing himself above the law and for releasing monsters to rape rob and murder among his constituents.
Arrest him for aiding and abetting. Give him a trial in 4 years after several months in solitary confinement — much like J6 political prisoners.
This will interesting to see how red state Governors handle the isolated sheriffs in their state that support the leftist agenda and refuse to cooperate with the Feds over immigration.
I hope in Florida, DeSantis just removes them, in the past he’s removed State Attorneys for not prosecuting certain crimes, I don’t know why he wouldn’t remove a Sheriff over not cooperating with the Feds over immigration
Lawsuit?
Throw the lawbreaker in Jail.
What’s the sense of arresting him if the Biden judicial cabal would just release him anyway?
It would actually embolden others to biolate the law.
Rokita was right to wait to do this until the adults were in charge again.
My first impulse was to ask why the AG did not file his suit after he was first elected in 2020, but we all know the answer to that. Biden.
Trump’s election is having positive effects at levels we probably never even imagined.
Agreed.
Now we have so many options to enforce all elements of existing immigration laws.
We need to use all of them immediately.
Flood the zone.
That AG would’ve been hung out to dry. SoJo and the Hoe were the ones suing states for upholding federal immigration law. There are more fun ways to blow your life savings, retirement, and financial stability than fighting lawfare from the feds.
I believe the new standard is 4 years in the WDC jail without trial (and being harassed constantly).
The Biden handlers would have destroyed our AG and cost the state of Indiana in other ways.
And the lawbreakers would have been given Freedom Medals by Joe Biden.
Ground zero.
It sounds like somebody needs to hire a real sheriff. This guy sounds like one of those wearers of a knitted, pink vagina hat.
I saw that the county includes South Bend. Isn’t that Boot-A-Geeg’s town?
