Hello and welcome to 2CarPros. Your Rogue uses a drum in hat design for the parking brake. Basically a small brake drum and shoes that are under the center section of the brake rotor. It is a common system on 4 wheel disc brakes. Unfortunately unless it is used constantly they tend to rust and come apart. The shoes themselves fail or the hardware fails. Or worse someone tries to use the parking brake when it hasn't been used in a long time, then the cables bind and the brakes won't release, this is what I suspect happened in your case as the brake light being on sounds like the park brake pedal was used and now it isn't returning fully to shut off the brake light.
To release it, there are adjusting plugs that can be removed and the adjusters backed off like old drum brakes, however if the brake hasn't been used a lot, there may not be much to release. To determine if the problem is the front cable or the rear cables, you could put the vehicle on ramps or a lift and remove the two bolts that hold the front cable to the chassis. (Circled in picture 3) That would let you move the entire cable back and watch the two cables that go to the rear brakes. If those retract and the brakes release then it is the front cable that is binding. If they don't then it is either the cables or the internal brakes themselves. However the front cables do like to bind because of their routing and getting moisture in them and corroding.
When the brakes were last serviced were the rotors replaced and the parking brakes serviced as well?
