(Indianapolis, IN) - Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is continuing to investigate potential labor trafficking in the state.

 

Mostly recently, Rokita has issued a civil investigative demand to Exodus Refugee Immigration Inc., a nonprofit that provides services to people such as illegal aliens with offices in Indianapolis and Bloomington. 

 

In addition, Rokita said the demand issued to Exodus Refugee seeks information about possible interference with federal immigration enforcement activities, in which entities in Monroe County may have engaged earlier this year.

 

Officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement informed the Attorney General’s office that a recent ICE operation in Monroe County faced numerous challenges as a result of what may have been a coordinated effort by entities in Bloomington to help illegal aliens evade apprehension. 

 

“Hoosier communities are grappling with the consequences of the reckless open-border policies of the previous administration “The mass movement of illegal aliens and others into Indiana has exposed our communities to significant public safety risks, including increased concerns about labor trafficking, as many of them are brought to the state to provide low-cost labor,” Rokita said.

 

Rokita said the rapid influx of migrants has strained Indiana’s schools, hospitals, housing, and labor markets, with reports of overcrowding in housing facilities where multiple families or dozens of individuals share spaces intended for single-family use.
