Enforcing Immigration Laws

In recent years, the United States has seen a surge of illegal immigrants crossing our borders, bringing deadly drugs and gang activity into the country.

This problem has affected even non-border states like Indiana. The Biden administration failed to properly secure our southern border — forcing state governments to act to protect our residents.

This year, the Indiana General Assembly is working on legislation to keep Hoosiers safe.

One measure would require a county sheriff to inform Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if there is probable cause to believe a person arrested for a crime is in the country illegally.
Another would make it a crime to get a driver's license, vehicle title or vehicle registration with the intent to pass on the license or vehicle to someone who cannot legally drive.
A third bill would allow the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to give grants to local law enforcement agencies to assist them in meeting requirements to partner with ICE on immigration enforcement.

In recent years, we have also passed laws to stop sanctuary cities and sanctuary campuses in Indiana.
