Indiana sues Indianapolis Schools over ICE access and immigration policies
Indiana's attorney general has filed a lawsuit against Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS), alleging that the district's policies restrict Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to school grounds and hinder employee cooperation with the agency.
The attorney general contends that IPS's policies violate Indiana's 'anti-sanctuary law', which prohibits public employees from being barred from assisting federal immigration enforcement. The school district, however, maintains its commitment to providing a safe environment for all students and upholding the law.
IPS's policies require ICE to present a judicial warrant or demonstrate an emergency to enter non-public school areas or take custody of a student for deportation. The available information does not specify who oversees the collaboration between IPS and ICE.
The lawsuit also accuses IPS of helping a student connect with an immigration attorney instead of aiding ICE in deporting the student's father.
The lawsuit seeks to compel IPS to comply with Indiana's 'anti-sanctuary law' and allow ICE access to school grounds. The school district, however, stands by its policies, prioritizing the safety and well-being of its students.
