Overview

• White House Border Czar Tom Homan appeared at the Indiana Statehouse with Gov. Mike Braun and Attorney General Todd Rokita to press lawmakers to adopt the immigration bill.
• Rep. J.D. Prescott said the proposal would penalize employers who hire or fail to report undocumented immigrants, provide law enforcement immunity from related lawsuits, curb sanctuary policies, and require agencies to report costs tied to non‑citizen benefits.
• A similar measure passed the House earlier this year but died in a Senate committee, and Rokita blamed Senate Judiciary Chair Liz Brown before a closed‑door meeting that included her and Homan.
• ICE has begun detaining migrants at the Miami Correctional Facility as questions persist about potential use of Camp Atterbury, and a Democratic lawmaker reported ICE restricted his access to a state‑funded facility upgrade.
• Protesters gathered outside the chamber and the public and media were barred from the event inside.
