In an exclusive report from Fox News, it has been revealed that Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is launching an investigation into the alleged concerted efforts of both local and international nonprofit organizations, employers, and a health department to facilitate the influx of migrants, including those without legal status, into Indiana communities.
According to Fox News, Rokita has expressed his concerns about the situation, stating, "Illegal immigration caused by 'border czar' Kamala Harris' perversion and misapplication of federal law has made every state a border state and imposed unsustainable costs on Logansport and other cities across the nation." He further highlighted the potential dangers associated with this issue, noting, "It has also created serious sex and labor trafficking risks in all communities. Im creatively trying to use every tool in the law to stop the Left's intentional destruction of Indiana."
Logansport, a city with a population of 18,366 as per the 2020 Census, is one of the areas under scrutiny. On Friday, Rokita's office issued six Civil Investigative Demands (CID) to various entities including the Cass County Health Department, Berry Global packaging company, the Evansville-based nonprofit God is Good foundation, the Jackson County Industrial Development Corporation, the Logansport Community School Corporation, and the Tent Partnership for Refugees, a network of over 400 major companies connecting refugees to jobs.
The investigations, set to take place in Evansville, Logansport, and Seymour, are aimed at uncovering the alleged "coordinated effort" between nonprofits and employers to attract migrant workers. The office of the Attorney General has expressed concern over the rapid increase in immigrant populations leading to overcrowded housing and potential labor trafficking.
The Cass County Health Department, which has been inspecting apartments and residences, is one of the entities under investigation. The CID seeks to determine whether any individuals residing in overcrowded residences were employed by or contracted to provide services for the owner or manager, as well as the number of individuals observed in the residence and their citizenship status.
The town of Logansport has reportedly been overwhelmed by the influx of migrants from Haiti and other countries. The mayor estimates a population growth of 20%-30% since 2021, primarily due to Haitian immigrants. The number of Haitian students in the schools has also seen a significant increase, from 14 to 207.
The impact of this migration is not without its critics. Some residents have expressed discomfort and safety concerns regarding the new arrivals. One woman shared her unsettling experience with Fox News, stating that some of the male Haitian migrants in town would "stop in front of our porch and just stop and stare. They don't say a word. They just stare. It's unnerving."
The investigation by Attorney General Rokita is an attempt to address these concerns and ensure the preservation of Indiana communities. It is a testament to the ongoing struggle between maintaining traditional values and addressing the complex issue of immigration.
