Indiana GOP Commends Governor Braun For Tackling Illegal Immigration



INDIANAPOLIS (January 28, 2025) – The Indiana Republican Party released the
following statement regarding Governor Braun's Executive Order 25-29 on January
28, 2025.



Indianapolis – After four years of former President Joe Biden’s open border
policies allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into the country,
Governor Braun is working with President Trump to tackle the problem with his
most recent executive order.

“Governor Braun has been to our southern border, he stood with President Trump
to build the wall, and he fought for the safety of our communities while in the
Senate. His executive order ensures that state contractors are not using
loopholes to hire illegal immigrants over American citizens, encourages Indiana
law enforcement agencies to cooperate with federal immigration efforts to
enforce the rule of law, and ensures communication with federal law enforcement
authorities to protect our communities,” said Indiana Republican Party
Chairwoman Erin Lucas.“Governor Braun’s order will keep Hoosiers safe and is a
win for Indiana.”



BACKGROUND:

Gov. Mike Braun leads on immigration to protect Hoosiers, rule of law.



“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.



"Gov. 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, prior to
entering any contract with the State, to certify their use of E-Verify 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).” (
