State of Indiana Attorney General - News Release

*Attorney General Todd Rokita files lawsuit as East Chicago ignores immigration laws*

Attorney General Todd Rokita today issued the following statement:

"This week, my office filed a lawsuit against East Chicago because its leaders continue to operate their city as a sanctuary city, giving safe harbor to illegal aliens, against federal and state law.

We have a new statute that supports the rule of law thanks to the leadership of the General Assembly and I intend to enforce it because illegal immigration is unfair to the good people of this state and those who worked hard to enter our country legally. As we continue to evaluate other local governments, this may not be the last lawsuit we file on this issue. Stay tuned."
