ICE Arrests in Indiana Surge as Enforcement Ramps Up
UNITED STATES, JUL 28 – Homicides dropped 17% in early 2025 as ICE arrests topped 300,000 nationwide amid stricter immigration enforcement under President Trump's administration.
- In January 2025, Indiana Governor Mike Braun issued an executive order instructing local law enforcement agencies to collaborate closely with ICE and, where allowed, establish 287 agreements.
- This order followed President Trump's inauguration and campaign promise to expand deportations, leading to a sharp rise in ICE arrests in Indiana and nationwide.
- Since January 20, ICE arrested nearly 1,400 people in Indiana, an 80% increase over last year, including 300 in June alone, with about a quarter lacking criminal records.
- Wendy Catalan Ruano, an immigration advocate, expressed concern that ICE is rushing to detain and deport individuals aggressively, cautioning that some of those arrested are actually pursuing legal status despite officials’ assurances they are targeting only criminals.
- The increased cooperation with ICE may intensify community tensions and legal challenges, while state police have not yet committed to signing 287 agreements despite the executive order.
