Indiana Governor Mike Braun has announced that several state agencies will collaborate with federal immigration leaders to deport people who are in the country illegally.
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security, State Police, Department of Correction, and National Guard have all signed agreements to work with federal immigration enforcement. These agreements allow designated officers to perform immigration enforcement functions, such as arrests and issuing detainers.
The Indiana Department of Correction will provide up to 1,000 beds at Miami Correctional Facility for detainees, and the National Guard’s Camp Atterbury may be used to house individuals subject to deportation without interfering with their training readiness.
“Indiana is not a safe haven for illegal immigration. Indiana will fully partner with federal immigration authorities as they enforce the most fundamental laws of our country,” said Braun in a Friday news release.

Every state should be doing this. Sadly, far too many have declared themselves to be a sanctuary for criminal activity. Why do illegal invaders get a free pass when they commit crimes? I think those officials, Governor, Legislature, city and county officials that protect the illegal criminals should all be hauled into federal court as accessories to those crimes. When a judge lets one of these criminals out of custody then that criminal commits more crimes the judge should also be held as an accessory in federal court.
Don’t get too excited, Braun already said he doesn’t consider violating immigration law to be a deportable crime.
