Attorney General Todd Rokita files lawsuit against IPS for thwarting federal immigration enforcement


America First Policy Institute (AFPI) joins as special counsel, praises Attorney General Rokita’s Leadership

Attorney General Todd Rokita recently filed a lawsuit against Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) for its policies and practices that frustrate federal immigration authorities’ ability to enforce federal law and violate Indiana law.

Attorney General Rokita said IPS currently maintains policies that frustrate ICE’s ability to do its job by severely limiting ICE’s access to school grounds and prohibiting IPS employees from assisting or sharing information with ICE.

“Sanctuary policies are bad in any context, but they are especially troubling in our schools,” said Attorney General Rokita. “Schools across the country are vulnerable to infiltration by criminal illegal aliens—it's happened in many other states—and it is essential that ICE be able to take action when that occurs to help keep our kids safe. That’s why my office, with the assistance of AFPI, is suing IPS to enforce compliance with state law and protect Hoosier schoolchildren.”

In January, IPS staff thwarted ICE’s efforts to deport an illegal alien who had voluntarily agreed to leave the country. Despite Attorney General Rokita’s February warning that IPS must discontinue its unlawful policies or face legal action, IPS has continued to defy Indiana’s anti-sanctuary law.

There are many reasons why school cooperation with federal immigration authorities is critically important. ICE is currently attempting to locate the nearly 400,000 unaccompanied alien children whom the Biden Administration released into the United States and who are vulnerable to exploitation by human traffickers. To do so, ICE requires help from school authorities to determine whether and where these minors may be enrolled in school. Similarly, it is essential for ICE to have cooperation from schools when criminal illegal aliens, like MS-13 gang members, infiltrate school locations. IPS policies deny ICE that cooperation and assistance, in flagrant violation of state law.

AFPI, a nonprofit that advances policies putting Americans first, is serving as special counsel in this case.

“Attorney General Rokita is showing exactly the kind of leadership America needs,” said Leigh Ann O’Neill, AFPI’s chief legal affairs officer. “When state attorneys general act boldly to enforce cooperation with federal immigration law, they help protect families, uphold the rule of law, and stop the political gamesmanship that endangers our communities. We’re proud to support this work — and we stand ready to assist other AGs looking to follow Indiana’s lead.”

Indiana law prohibits local government entities—including school districts—from restricting cooperation with ICE or interfering with federal immigration enforcement.

“We’re fighting to make sure our schools are places of learning, not lawlessness,” said Attorney General Rokita.

Colts legend Jeff Saturday teams up with IndianaUnclaimed.gov

to snap missing money back to rightful owners

Attorney General Todd Rokita welcomes football icon to new role

Longtime Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday, an all-time fan favorite, is helping Attorney General Todd Rokita’s office promote IndianaUnclaimed.gov to Hoosiers statewide.



"Retiring from football means more time for my hobbies, like baking and gardening, and it means watching my spending," Saturday said. "That's why I checked for unclaimed property at Indiana Unclaimed. It's your money, and they want to give it back."



Ads featuring Saturday will air on local radio and TV stations as well as across online digital platforms with a statewide reach.

“We want all Hoosiers to check IndianaUnclaimed.gov to see whether they have any cash waiting to be claimed,” Attorney General Rokita said. “We want Hoosiers to get their money back, so turning to a respected hometown hero like Jeff Saturday allows us to kick off our new efforts to promote IndianaUnclaimed.gov. It's time for everybody to get in the game."



Unclaimed property is any financial asset with no activity by its owner for an extended period of time. Examples of potential unclaimed property are:

- Unclaimed wages or commissions   
- Money orders 
- Safety deposit box contents 
- Savings and checking accounts 
- Refunds 
- Overpayments such as:
- Credit card balances 
- Cell phone bills
Attorney General Rokita’s Unclaimed Property Division is currently on a record-setting pace in 2025 for the amount of money reunited with rightful owners in a given year — with more than $77 million already returned so far.

Attorney General Todd Rokita distributes $21.7 million to Hoosier communities in latest wave of opioid settlement funds

Opioid Settlements alone total over $1.1 Billion under Rokita Administration

Attorney General Todd Rokita is distributing $21,763,819.19 to Indiana cities, counties, and towns in the latest round of payments from opioid settlements secured under his leadership. These settlements were secured from companies that allegedly contributed to the state’s opioid epidemic through irresponsible and/or unlawful actions.


“These funds empower our communities to fight back against the devastating impact of opioid addiction,” Attorney General Rokita said. “While no settlement can undo the harm caused, this money supports critical efforts to prevent future crises and provide meaningful support to Hoosiers in need.”


The payments stem from settlements with CVS, pharmaceutical distributors (McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen), Allergan, and Teva. Under Attorney General Rokita’s leadership, Indiana’s opioid settlements now exceed $1.1 billion.


Local governments have flexibility in using these funds, which can support drug disposal programs, drug task forces, regional treatment hubs, early intervention, crisis support, and other programs aimed at addressing or preventing opioid use disorder and overdoses. Guidelines are available on the Attorney General’s website:

The settlement framework maintains a 50-50 split between the state and local governments. The over $21.7 million allocated to local communities represents 50 percent of this round’s payments, with the other 50 percent directed to the State of Indiana. Local communities are encouraged to seek information about the state’s share to access additional resources.


A detailed list of estimated payments to each community over the full 18-year settlement period is available on the Office of Attorney General’s website:

Indianapolis man charged with 43 counts of Medicaid fraud after billing for more than $2.7 million

Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU)
will prosecute case following his investigation

Following an investigation by Attorney General Todd Rokita’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU), an Indianapolis man has been arrested and charged with 43 counts of Medicaid fraud and one count of theft after he allegedly falsified documents to indicate a qualified physician was overseeing mental health services provided at his business, TRUTH Treatment Centers Inc.

A deputy attorney general on the MFCU team will prosecute the case against Kevin L. Calvert in Marion Superior Court. According to records, the 57-year-old entrepreneur submitted bills totaling more than $2.7 million for addiction treatment services supposedly provided to patients by medical professionals.


Based on MFCU’s investigation, however, the business allegedly was using recent graduates of its drug treatment program — without the required education and licensure — to provide counseling.

The physician listed as the rendering provider on the majority of TRUTH Treatment Center billings is an anesthesiologist who told investigators he never provided any medical services or held any role with the business — adding that he was surprised to learn the billing from TRUTH Treatment Center was under his name.

“We take very seriously our responsibility to protect Indiana’s resources from fraudsters,” Attorney General Rokita said. “The Medicaid program is meant to help low-income individuals get the health care they need. Our office will continue to ensure that Hoosiers’ tax dollars supporting this program are protected from fraud and abuse, and we would ask anyone with information about suspected fraud of this nature to please report it to our office.”

Attorney General Rokita expressed gratitude to the MFCU staff working on this case. Specifically, he named Investigator John Mills, Deputy Attorney General Georgeanna Teipen (who will prosecute this case on behalf of MFCU) and MFCU Director and Chief Counsel Matthew Whitmire.

It is important to remember that any accusation that someone has committed a crime, an arrest and/or the filing of a criminal charge is simply an allegation and is not evidence of guilt. All suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

The ethical rules for prosecutors in Indiana prohibit further comment on this matter. At this time, there will be no further comment.

The Indiana Medicaid Fraud Control Unit receives 75% of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a federal grant. The remaining 25% is funded by the State of Indiana.

Rapist and murderer to remain behind bars thanks to Attorney General Todd Rokita’s appeals team

A murderer and a rapist will remain behind bars after Attorney General Todd Rokita’s legal team secured unanimous victories at the Indiana Court of Appeals, upholding lengthy sentences in two brutal violent crime cases.

“Our office works tirelessly to keep Hoosiers safe from the worst of the worst—from white-collar fraud to cold-blooded killers,” said Attorney General Todd Rokita. “This rapist and this murderer don’t deserve to walk free, and I’m proud that the appellate court agreed with our arguments to keep them locked up and out of our communities for good.”



Nashawn Stephens was sentenced to 75 years in prison for the 2022 murder of Tychius Derrickson in Mishawaka. Stephens and an accomplice lured Derrickson to an apartment under false pretenses, brutally beat him, dragged him outside, and shot him three times. Stephens claimed insufficient evidence—no eyewitness, no confession, no gun. The Court of Appeals rejected his appeal, finding overwhelming circumstantial evidence—including witness testimony, timing, physical evidence, and Stephens’s post-crime behavior—sufficient to support the jury’s guilty verdict.

In a separate case, Jorge Juarez Lopez was sentenced to 60 years for breaking into a 17-year-old victim’s home in 2023, holding a knife to her throat, raping her, and threatening to kill her and her sister if she reported the assault. Lopez was convicted of two counts of Level 1 felony rape, two counts of Level 5 felony intimidation, and Class A misdemeanor counterfeit government-issued identification. He argued on appeal that the trial court should have granted a mistrial after the victim had an emotional outburst in court. The Court of Appeals upheld the denial of the mistrial, affirming that the trial judge’s strong admonition to the jury cured any potential prejudice.

The Attorney General’s Appeals Division represented the State in both cases. Both rulings were unanimous and reinforce Indiana’s commitment to justice for victims of violent crime.
