Lyme Disease in Indiana, Todd Rokita Sues East Chicago Over Sanctuary Cities Ban, $700,000 for Youth Apprenticeship Programs, Evidence Shows State Police Targeted IU Protest Leaders

We’re not seeing a spike in tick-borne illnesses this year, but experts say they’ve been increasing over the past two decades. Attorney General Todd Rokita is suing East Chicago, arguing the northwest Indiana community is violating the state’s ban on sanctuary cities. Four career and technical education centers around Indiana will split $700,000 to pilot local youth apprenticeship programs. Police targeted two Indiana University student protest leaders for arrest ahead of time, according to Indiana State Police radio chatter and body camera footage.
