Governor Mike Braun ensured greater safety for Hoosiers with today’s signing of an executive order that protects the public from the threats posed by illegal aliens in our state. Today’s action also assists the Trump administration by offering full cooperation with the federal government.
“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,” said Indiana Governor Mike Braun. “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.”
Governor Braun’s Executive Order delivers on his promise to place public safety operations at the forefront of collaboration with the Trump administration to manage immigration in Indiana. The Indiana Department of Administration and all agencies exercising contracting authority shall require state vendors to certify their use of E-Verify prior to entering any contract with the State to ensure their workforce is lawfully permitted to work in the United States and the State of Indiana. Taxpayer money will not fund the contracts of illegal immigrants.
Law enforcement agencies of the State of Indiana will report to the Indiana Intelligence Fusion Center credible evidence of illegal aliens with a prior criminal history and/or are suspected of committing a felony, suspected of engaging in terror or espionage, or who present a significant threat to national security or public safety. The Indiana National Guard will make available to the federal government the state resources of the Indiana National Guard and cooperate fully with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
