AG Rokita sends civil investigative demands (CIDs) to officials, employers and non-profits in Evansville, Logansport and Seymour 

As residents and elected officeholders continue reporting concerns about the largescale influx of illegal aliens and “legal migrants” into their cities and towns, Attorney General Todd Rokita is launching investigations into this growing issue in Evansville, Logansport and Seymour.  

The entities receiving CIDs are the Cass County Health Department, Logansport Community School Corp., Berry Global Group Inc., Tent Partnership for Refugees, God is Good, and Jackson County Industrial Development Corp. 

“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,” Attorney General Rokita said. “It has also created serious sex and labor trafficking risks in all communities. I’m creatively trying to use every tool in the law to stop the Left's intentional destruction of Indiana."   

Attorney General Rokita is investigating coordinated efforts among international and local nonprofit “refugee resettlement” organizations and employers to bring large numbers of migrants to Indiana communities. 

The rapid growth of alien populations in certain communities has caused overcrowding in housing facilities as multiple families and sometimes dozens of individuals reportedly share space in structures intended to be single-family dwellings. It also has raised concerns about potential labor trafficking. 

Attorney General Rokita’s office is conducting these investigations pursuant to its authority under Indiana’s Deceptive Consumer Sales Act and indecent nuisance statute. 

“The influx of these illegal aliens, which are coming from over 150 different countries, have strained our schools and the children of taxpayers are suffering as a result. It has caused unneeded stress on law enforcement, local hospitals and healthcare facilities, and our housing and labor markets,” Attorney General Rokita said.  It also raises serious questions about how these individuals' arrival in Indiana is being facilitated. 

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has secured a suspension of the medical license of an Indianapolis doctor charged with 114 counts of violating laws regulating his medical practice and controlled substance prescribing.

“Hoosier patients have the right to expect their doctors to put their safety and well-being at the top of the priority list,” Attorney General Rokita said. “When a physician performing surgery demonstrates reckless disregard for basic standards of care, he or she must be held accountable.”

On Oct. 24, the Medical Licensing Board suspended Dr. Scott Mimms’ license for a minimum of two years. Attorney General Rokita’s office filed an administrative complaint against Dr. Mimms with the board on April 24, 2024.

The Indiana Medical Licensing Board found that Dr. Mimms failed to exercise reasonable care and diligence; unlawfully prescribed Schedule II controlled substances for weight loss; and administered anesthesia in a facility without the proper accreditation to do so and without any additional providers trained in anesthesia present at the time of the surgeries.

Attorney General Rokita’s office investigates complaints against licensed professionals and entities across the state. They received the first consumer complaint against Dr. Mimms in August of 2022 — and 34 additional complaints thereafter. 

Hoosiers can file a consumer complaint with the Attorney General’s office here.

Attorney General Rokita expressed gratitude for the diligent work on this matter by Investigators Delaney Walter and Cassie McDaniel and Deputy Attorneys General Carah Rochester and Amy Osborne.  

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has ensured an Evansville addiction counselor who illegally dealt drugs to his patients will no longer be licensed in Indiana to provide counseling. 

Following an administrative complaint by Attorney General Rokita’s office, the Indiana Behavioral Health and Human Services Licensing Board voted to revoke professional licensing held by Michael Hagedorn. 

“Here we have a licensee who used his vulnerable patients for his own financial gain by feeding rather than treating their drug habits,” Attorney General Rokita said. “There is no world in which such a person deserves to work in the mental health and addiction field and thankfully they never will be able to again. We will continue standing up for vulnerable Hoosiers.”  

Hagedorn is serving 16 years through the Indiana Department of Correction following convictions for dealing in methamphetamine and dealing in a narcotic drug. His sentence also involves a six-year enhancement for being a habitual criminal. 

“Beyond the debt he is paying to society through the criminal justice system, this individual must also be kept far away from credentials that would enable him again to abuse patients from a position of trust,” Attorney General Rokita said.
