(Indianapolis, IN) - Indiana Governor Mike Braun is ordering law enforcement agencies statewide to cooperate with ICE and support their federal immigration enforcement efforts.

After signing an executive order today, Braun said Indiana will focus on finding those in the state that entered the country illegally and committed crimes.

“Over the last four years, the increase in illegal aliens flooding our country has created a significant threat to public safety for Hoosiers and allowed bad actors to abuse American generosity, costing taxpayers at every level. That ends now,” Braun said.

“Indiana will cooperate fully with the federal government, offering the assistance of the Indiana National Guard while strengthening our own efforts at home to keep illegal aliens with criminal histories out of our communities,” he said.

The order supports President Donald Trump’s federal response to immigration. The president made mass deportations of undocumented immigrants a central campaign promise.
