Braun: Designated State Law Agencies Given Immigration Enforcement Powers
INDIANA, AUG 1 – Indiana will use state agencies and facilities to support federal immigration enforcement, housing up to 1,000 detained migrants and aiming to reduce $2 billion in annual state costs, officials said.
- Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced on Friday that four state agencies signed agreements with federal immigration authorities to assist enforcement efforts.
- These agreements come after Governor Braun's executive order in January instructing law enforcement in Indiana to fully cooperate with ICE and, where possible, enter into partnerships that grant certain federal immigration enforcement authorities.
- State agencies including Indiana's homeland security office, state police, corrections department, and the National Guard will carry out immigration-related activities such as arrests and detainment. Detained individuals will be housed at facilities like Camp Atterbury and the Miami Correctional Facility.
- Braun emphasized that Indiana will not serve as a refuge for those residing in the country unlawfully and committed to working closely with federal immigration agencies to uphold the nation’s core legal standards.
- The agreements enable designated officers who complete ICE training to assist deportations, and Braun expects National Guard support without affecting readiness or emergency response.
