St. Joseph Superior Judge Jenny Pitts Manier

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.
