US EditionIndianapolis Public Schools Sued for Allegedly 'Thwarting' ICE Enforcement
Attorney General Todd Rokita alleges IPS violated Indiana's anti-sanctuary law by blocking ICE access, affecting efforts to locate 400,000 undocumented children nationwide.
- On Thursday, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita filed a lawsuit in Marion County Superior Court 5 against Indianapolis Public Schools, with America First Police Institute as special counsel, seeking court action to enforce state law and protect schoolchildren.
- Todd Rokita warned in January that Indianapolis Public Schools maintained policies that violate Indiana's anti-sanctuary law by restricting immigration enforcement access without a warrant.
- In January, Rokita says IPS staff reportedly thwarted ICE's efforts to deport a Honduran national scheduled for Jan. 8, and an IPS teacher connected the child with an immigration attorney.
- The complaint asks a judge to issue an injunction forcing IPS to change policies to be more cooperative with ICE, and Todd Rokita said ICE is trying to locate around 400,000 undocumented children.
- The complaint alleges IPS has a memorandum of understanding with IMPD but limits cooperation with ICE, IPS has not responded to the lawsuit, and local news outlets and reporters have sought comment.
