Although sanctuary cities no longer get the headlines they did in the past, there are still communities that offer shelter to those most in need. That is, if attorneys general don’t sue them out of existence. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is attempting to do just that, suing the East Chicago Common Council in an attempt to enforce his own interpretation of national immigration laws.

Despite MAGA rhetoric, the East Chicago ordinance does not affect federal behavior. Rather, it restricts officials from requesting “information about or otherwise investigat[ing] or assist[ing] in the investigation of the citizenship or immigration status of any person,” unless a criminal warrant is presented. In other words, East Chicago complies with the law, just not with AG Rokita’s personal brand of vengeance.
