Event organizer Richard Aguirre says the immigration forum is hosted by the Goshen City Democratic Party but it's not meant to be a rally against the Trump Administration or ICE.

Mennonite congregations are calling on Target to take a stronger stand against federal immigration enforcement actions. Congregations from the Michiana area gathered outside Target’s Goshen location Saturday, carrying signs, singing hymns and calling for the defunding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita on Monday praised the Indiana House Judiciary Committee for advancing a bill that would place new requirements on local police to help with federal immigration enforcement.

Brett McNeil talks about ICE agents with guns in Midwestern streets and homes.

“We gather in grief. We gather in community. We gather in hope,” said Carrie Bowie with the Michiana Alliance for Democracy.

“We want to honor and humanize the lives that were taken by ICE – have been taken by ICE – and to highlight the fact that we want this to stop,” said Carrie Bowie with the Michiana Alliance for Democracy, which is organizing the event.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita's office says it's confident that an appeals court will reverse St. Joseph Superior Judge Jenny Pitts Manier and uphold the will of the General Assembly — that the office can sue communities that it believes offer sanctuary to undocumented immigrants.

In a statement he released Monday, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita says St. Joseph Superior Judge Jenny Pitts Manier made a "novel and incorrect legal conclusion" in dismissing his immigration-related lawsuit against Sheriff Bill Redman.

St. Joseph Superior Judge Jenny Pitts Manier granted Sheriff Bill Redman's motion to dismiss, finding that Rokita lacks standing to bring the complaint, he offered no evidence that Redman has a policy or practice of stopping staff from cooperating with ICE, and a state attorney general can't force local police to help ICE.
