Indiana Lawyer Common Todd Rokita introduced on Friday that his workplace has filed a lawsuit towards the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Division over unlawful 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 advised reporters on the press convention 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 folks ICE asks native authorities to carry till an agent can take custody of them.
