January 1, Indiana Fights Back on Biden’s Border Crisis

Wyatt’s Take

• Indiana leaders push tougher immigration laws to protect Hoosiers.
• Sheriffs and lawmakers back Trump-era enforcement and demand action now.
• Families harmed by illegal immigration want real change, not more promises.

Indiana lawmakers welcomed hardline border policies at the Capitol, giving standing ovations to Trump’s border czar Tom Homan as he called for state action against illegal immigration.

Attorney General Todd Rokita is asking for more power to help the Trump administration deport Biden-era border crossers and put a stop to chaos spilling into Indiana communities.

In one of my first acts as Governor, I made clear that Indiana would not be a safe haven for illegal immigration. @IDHS is empowered to perform immigration functions like arrests.@IndianaDOC has made 1K beds available at the Miami Correctional Facility.@IndStatePolice are… pic.twitter.com/jO6SEh5llH

“Despite all the hate and all the attacks on me, Tom Homan is not going anywhere. I promised President Trump I will finish this job.”

Homan used the statehouse stage to support a law that would kick criminal aliens out faster and protect neighborhoods from crime tied to the border mess.

His call gained even more weight as he shared stories of real threats and growing violence, with assaults on border agents up a thousand percent this year and criminals spilling into America’s heartland.

Security was tight around the speakers, a sign of just how high the stakes have gotten for those willing to speak up.

Speakers warned Indiana’s proximity to Chicago means terrorist, drug, and trafficking crimes can reach rural and small-town Hoosiers. Law enforcement and DEA reports prove Indiana is a top target for cartel operations and money flows.

One expert warned, “Effectively, Biden and Harris added a 51st state,” loaded with unknown migrants, criminals, and enemies of America—many paying cartels tens of billions in trafficking fees.

The room heard from families like Kendra Castner, who lost her brother Brad to an illegal migrant with a criminal record. Her pain was clear as she demanded action so “what happened to him won’t happen to anyone else.”

Officials echoed the urgent need for state laws since Congress hasn’t delivered, and Indiana is stepping up where D.C. fails.

If you want your streets, families, and towns protected, it’s vital to speak out and support tougher state laws before things get worse in your backyard.

Wyatt Matters

Heartland folks want real security and rule of law, not broken promises. These stories show how protecting American neighborhoods starts with strong action at home—because families here deserve safe streets just like anyone else.
