Attorney General Todd Rokita today issued the following statement:
"We sent a blunt message to Gary officials that they needed to follow the law. As a result, the Gary Common Council officially voted to repeal, in its entirety, its unlawful immigration ordinance.
This is a win for law-abiding Hoosiers and legal immigrants who are the ones negatively impacted by the flood of illegal aliens pouring across our southern border. We need to stand for apprehending criminals – NOT providing them with safe harbor.
With the West Lafayette Police Department, the City of East Chicago, and now Gary officials all rescinding illegal 'sanctuary city' policies, we will continue to focus our efforts on ensuring the Monroe County Sheriff's Department does the same."
