Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n

Indiana takes a stricter approach to immigration enforcement than many other states, with laws that authorize cooperation between local police and federal authorities and require government agencies and contractors to use E\u2011Verify. The state also limits access to public benefits, driver\u2019s licenses, and in\u2011state tuition, including for undocumented students, DACA recipients, and U visa holders.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Indiana is one of a handful of states that have passed comprehensive and strict immigration laws. But it is important to know about the relationship and tension between\u00a0state and federal law<\/a>. This issue is particularly important with immigration.<\/p>\n
