In response to recent comments made by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the Indianapolis Public Schools surrounding cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said the two entities “must cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has advised IMPD and IPS to “discontinue policies and practices that limit their ability to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, or else face legal action from his office.

Rokita expressed concerns over IMPD's statement that it does not have the authority to enforce federal immigration laws and IPS's policy of requiring a judicial warrant for ICE access.

Rokita said if Indianapolis Public Schools officials refuse to share information with ICE related to an individuals immigration status he will take sue.
