The Attorney General of Indiana has filed a lawsuit against St. Joseph County Sheriff Redmond to compel compliance with federal immigration laws and President Trump's mass deportation orders. The lawsuit alleges that the Sheriff's refusal to cooperate with ICE creates a \"safe harbor\" for criminal aliens, straining local infrastructure and endangering citizens.

This sheriff, Sheriff Redmond,
is going to federal prison for not working with ICE.
Everyone knows that aiding and abetting a criminal, like all
the illegal aliens that have made it to the U.S., is a serious charge.
But even more so, if you're the sheriff of an entire county,
the Attorney General of Indiana has filed a huge lawsuit against
the Democratic Sheriff of St. Joseph's County, Indiana, Sheriff Redmond.
To try to force him to comply
with President Trump's mass deportation orders.
Thus far he has made a deliberate decision
and effort not to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
Thank you very much.
And will most likely also pick up a federal charge in the short term.
Remember what President Trump said.
F around and find out.
Get ready for some serious federal time, Sheriff Redmond.
Breaking Attorney General of Indiana files a huge lawsuit against
the Democratic Sheriff of St. Joseph County to force him
to comply with President Trump's immigration orders.
Quote, this deliberate decision not to cooperate
with federal immigration authorities is giving, well.
I filed a lawsuit against St. Joseph County
Sheriff Redmond and his department over their
persistent practice of refusing to cooperate
with federal immigration authorities.
This includes refusing to notify ICE properly about
the release of illegal aliens and also
refusing to honor ICE detainers.
This deliberate decision to not cooperate
with federal immigration authorities is giving
safe harbor to criminal aliens that need to be removed from our country
and this county.
It is making St. Joseph County act as a magnet.
To attract more illegals to want to come
and live here and commit crime here.
Crime that hurts law abiding citizens, including our children.
It's sad, but the local law enforcement here has become part
of the problem.
A big part.
And I refuse as your Attorney General to just stand by and
watch the lawlessness happen from law enforcement officials.
After multiple communications with Sheriff Redmond
to clean up the department's act,
I have
a strong
record of
defending
our police,
not
defunding
them.
And we will continue to support
and defend our law enforcement in court, but we also hold those
who deserve to be held accountable accountable.
Illegal immigration as opposed to legal migration
is maybe the biggest issue we are facing right now in our country.
President Joe Biden opened our border
and created a crisis that now needs to be fixed. Because of
him and his aiders and abettors right here in Indiana,
every state is now a border state.
And everyone, including us right here,
are paying the price for this lawlessness.
I look forward to helping, continue helping,
President Trump solve this to fix it, but
it will take the cooperation of all of us and all of law enforcement.
Think of this.
The influx of illegal aliens,
which are coming from over 150 different countries, have strained
We've strained our schools.
And our children are suffering as the result.
It has caused unneeded stress on law enforcement, local hospitals,
health care facilities, and our housing and labor markets.
I met with a teacher a few months ago.
She had tears running down her face.
She said she was retiring. I asked what was wrong.
She was much too young to retire.
She said, I'm retiring because I can't take it anymore.
And I thought I was going to get a comment about teacher pay
Some other issue along those lines, which is also a real issue.
But instead, she told me that every day she gets
a list of additional names added to her
classroom size, names she can't pronounce,
and she ends up spending every class hour
calling an 800 number,
where she then is made to pick between multiple translators so that
she can explain the lesson plan to these new kids.
Now, it's not the kids' fault.
But they shouldn't be here.
It's not fair to the children of the taxpayers who
are sitting there in that same classroom
waiting to be taught while their teacher is online
or on the phone translating, trying to translate lesson
plans in multiple languages.
It's not fair.
It's not fair to our taxpayers.
It's not fair to law enforcement.
It's not fair to our already overburdened hospitals.
Frankly, we have had enough of the problems
that are being caused.
And thanks to the election in November,
Now, at least, instead of an obstacle in the White House,
I and you have an ally.
You are already seeing a flurry of action coming
from the new administration on this
issue, and we are ready to continue our work with them
and have already been working for
quite some time on getting this crisis under control,
at least here in Indiana.
Remember last session, the General Assembly passed a law authorizing
my office to file lawsuits against any Indiana colleges, universities,
or units of local government not enforcing current Indiana laws
that ban sanctuary cities here in the state.
We take that authority extremely seriously
and have already made a ton of progress on this front.
We worked with the West Lafayette Police Department
to successfully revise its policies to ensure
the enforcement of federal immigration laws.
East Chicago officials also repealed
their unlawful immigration ordinance
in response to my office's efforts.
Gary officials repealed their unlawful immigration
ordinance after being pressed by me and my office.
And in the case of the Monroe County Sheriff, Bloomington, Indiana,
who also refused to cooperate, we have an ongoing lawsuit there.
Obviously, this is a county that contains Bloomington
and Indiana University.
And today we are bringing that similar type
of lawsuit against Sheriff Redmond and his department.
And I'm about to CC Tom Homan on X
when I post this to make sure that he's aware that this sheriff,
Redmond, is not cooperating and not doing what he's supposed
to do as far as illegal alien detention.
He's just releasing them.
God bless you and yours, folks.
I hope he picks up some federal time.
I hope anyone...
Trying to aid or abet one of these illegal aliens
who is a criminal, by definition, catches some real time.
