AG Curtis Hill: U.S. Supreme Court decision on unauthorized aliens and ID theft is win for Indiana
A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision ensures states will be able to continue prosecuting cases of identity theft that involve unauthorized aliens, Attorney General Curtis Hill said today.
In Kansas v. Garcia, the Kansas Supreme Court relied on a federal law that strictly limits the use of job applicants’ work-authorization forms to throw out the identity-theft convictions of three restaurant workers who lied on both tax withholding forms and work-authorization forms. But the U.S. Supreme Court reversed, ruling that prosecutors are permitted to prosecute job applicants who fraudulently use other people’s Social Security numbers so long as they learn of the fraud from sources other than the work-authorization forms (such as tax-withholding forms).
“The Kansas court’s erroneous interpretation would have invited would-be identity thieves to evade state prosecution just by including in a work-authorization form any information they stole,†Attorney General Hill said. “To say the least, granting identity thieves such power to immunize themselves from prosecution would seriously impede states’ efforts to fight identity theft.â€
In a document submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court last May, Attorney General Hill led a 12-state coalition supporting the legal view that ultimately prevailed.
“Identity theft is an extremely pervasive and costly crime,†Attorney General Hill said. “I appreciate the Supreme Court’s wisdom in allowing states to use appropriate measures to combat the problem. This is a win for Indiana.â€

Six-State Trooper Project Underway
The Indiana State Police will be joining forces this week with Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia State Police agencies, for what is known as the Six-State Trooper Project. During this collaborative effort, troopers across northeast Indiana will be taking to the highways March 12th -14th with a primary focus on criminal interdiction through high volume traffic enforcement.
During this period, motorists can expect to see an increased presence of our troopers on the roadsides conducting traffic stops. Drivers are encouraged to not drive distracted, and to be increasingly aware of the need to move over or slowdown as required to give them the room to work safely.
Why target traffic violations to catch criminals? Troopers understand that the criminal element by and large operates in a mobile environment. Criminals regularly must navigate our roadways while moving from point A to point B. By conducting large scale coordinated patrols such as the Six-State Trooper Project, we effectively create a bigger net for law enforcement to fish. We achieve safer roadways through increased traffic enforcement, with an overall commitment to creating safer communities by getting criminals off the streets.
Help the ISP make a difference in your community! Motorist that observe high-risk driving behavior, suspect impaired driving, or suspect criminal activity on our roadways are always encouraged to call 911, or call direct to the Indiana State Police Fort Wayne Post at (260)432-8661.
