Indiana’s immigration policies align with federal law and prioritize enforcement. The state prohibits access to driver’s licenses and in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants, and law enforcement often cooperates with ICE. Legal support exists primarily in urban centers and focuses on removal defense, visa petitions, and DACA renewals. While public benefit access is limited, communities rely on nonprofits and religious organizations for advocacy. In Indiana, legal planning helps individuals navigate a rigid system while seeking protection and long-term residency solutions.
