  1. There are undoubtedly many hardworking Hoosiers who are sick and tired of unlawful conduct…coming from the state’s Attorney General Todd Rokita who is again facing a complaint before the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission. What is the legal saying about clean hands?

  2. this article is about the Indiana AG’s office & their announcement regarding federal immigration & local authorities, not at all regarding Todd Rokita personally.

    1. He is executing all of his current misconduct while being the AG which is where this notice is coming from.

      Todd Rokita can kick rocks as he has zero respect from the citizens in Indiana.

      If Braun had an ounce of courage he would replace him under a request to have him disbarred by the SC

    2. JJ – As an independently elected official, the AG can’t be replaced by the Gov. That should have been clear from the last two AG’s, lol. 😉

    3. actually, this article is all about Todd Rokita personally. It’s about his grandstanding on a flashpoint political issue without any factual support. This announcement was all about, and only about, Todd Rokita. In the ordinary course, an attorney making such unfounded statements in a court of law would be sanctioned, possibly disbarred. In the court of public opinion, though, Rokita is free to pursue this self-promoting, factually free, course of action. It’s a MAGAt thing…his mentor President Trusk operates the same way. Doesn’t matter if you’re lying to the public, just make the lie big, and repeat often and loudly.
      And it would all come crashing down in a heartbeat if the Supreme Court would just do its duty…

  3. No allegations that IMPD or IPS are not currently following the law, and yet rokita would have us believe that we need him fighting the good fight, even though,“Under Indiana law, neither IMPD nor IPS has discretion to decide whether ICE should receive their cooperation and assistance.” You know who expects others to not follow the law – those who don’t follow it. rokita expects the rules will be broken because he breaks them himself. Also, good luck creating enough headlines to bury the fact that you signed onto Texas v. Becerra, I can’t imagine that those “hardworking Hoosiers” you claim to represent are going to be real happy with you if you succeed at killing Section 504. But I’m already surprised with what they let you get away with.

  4. Rokita did not listen to the statements released by IPS or IMPD. They said they would follow the current policies, as they always have. These policies are exactly within the letter of the law. I think IPS would not allow an officers on site without a warrant, which is exactly as the law says it should be. If I had a child at IPS, I would hope they would follow this policy.

    Unfortunately, I don’t think most of Rokita’s supporter’s are aware of the IMPD or IPS policies, and more importantly what the law requires when police come pounding on your door. They may also be ignorant that US Constitution makes the Federal government solely responsible for immigration enforcement. So I am sure this stupidity by Rokita is seen as MAGA “win”.

    Sigh…..

  5. If and when Rokita has evidence that that local law enforcement or schools are violating state law, then he can take legal action. Until then, he should stop contributing to the fear and hate that have come to be associated with the MAGA cultists.
