Indiana House lawmakers passed House Bill 1531, which would penalize businesses with more than 10 employees that knowingly hire illegal immigrants. The bill, aimed at enforcing stricter immigration laws, introduces penalties like warnings, suspensions, and potential license revocation. The legislation also allows the state Attorney General to withhold funding from government bodies not complying with immigration detention requests. Critics argue the bill could burden law enforcement and risk essential services. The bill now moves to the Senate for further review.
