Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is appealing a judge’s decision to dismiss his lawsuit against St. Joseph County Sheriff Bill Redman and the county police department.

Rokita claims the sheriff’s office violated state law by refusing to work with federal immigration officials and failing to honor ICE detainers.

Rokita’s office filed an appeal, last week, stating it will continue to fight “to ensure no Indiana community acts as a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.
