Gov. Braun backs Camp Atterbury for ICE detention
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Gov. Mike Braun said he doesn’t expect problems with conditions at a planned ICE detention facility at Camp Atterbury in Johnson County.
According to immigrant rights groups, migrants held at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities have reported significant overcrowding and limited access to food and medical care. Braun told reporters he wouldn’t support the use of Camp Atterbury for a new temporary facility if he didn’t believe those conditions could be avoided there. Camp Atterbury is a federal installation managed by the Indiana National Guard.
“I’ve been clear, I’m for helping remove criminals after they came in here illegally. And some of the egregious ones, we’d all agree with,” the Republican governor said. “So if we’ve got a facility, we’re going to be helpful, because I’ve been on record in support of that.”…
