US EditionBraun signs bill into law requiring jails to tell ICE about potential immigration violations
- On April 30, 2025, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita accused Senator Liz Brown, during a radio interview, of preventing progress on an immigration-related bill due to personal motivations.
- Rokita said the stalled House Bill 1531, which required local jail compliance with ICE detainer requests, was held up in Brown's Senate Judiciary Committee, though Brown denies personal conflict.
- Brown confirmed that she submitted a formal complaint and requested an investigation into Rokita’s statements through the disciplinary body overseeing Indiana’s Supreme Court, arguing that his assertions were false and intended to mislead voters.
- House Bill 1531 passed the Indiana House 64-26 but never received a Senate hearing due to committee assignment; Brown chairs the committee and has discretion over bill hearings.
- The dispute highlights heightened political tensions, with Rokita accusing the disciplinary commission of political lawfare and weaponizing the court system to silence him and the people of Indiana.
