Indiana Enacts Sweeping Immigration Law

Indiana’s Governor Mike Braun has signed the sweeping FAIRNESS Act, a new immigration enforcement law requiring all state agencies to fully cooperate with ICE, including honoring detainer requests and barring local policies that obstruct federal immigration enforcement. Law enforcement must notify judges before releasing anyone flagged by ICE, and commercial drivers suspected of being undocumented can have their licenses revoked. Employers face penalties for knowingly hiring unauthorized workers — unless they use E-Verify. The state attorney general now has authority to investigate and penalize violators. Coupled with Operation Midway Blitz, the law aims to remove undocumented drivers from Indiana roads and position the state as a non-safe haven for illegal immigration. Sponsored by Senator Liz Brown, the law asserts state sovereignty and demands that cities, universities, and employers prioritize Hoosiers — taking effect immediately with statewide implementation underway.
