Trump Admin Unveils New Migrant ‘Speedway Slammer’ In Indiana

The Trump administration unveiled a new partnership with Indiana to lock away hundreds more criminal illegal migrants.

The Indiana Department of Corrections is working with 🛂Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to expand detention space by 1,000 beds, according to a press release by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The new project — dubbed the “Speedway Slammer” — will be located at the Miami Correctional Center in Bunker Hill, Indiana, marking the second state partnership with federal 🛂Immigration authorities.

“COMING SOON to Indiana: The Speedway Slammer. Today, we’re announcing a new partnership with the state of Indiana to expand detention bed space by 1,000 beds,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday. “Thanks to Governor Braun for his partnership to help remove the worst of the worst out of our country.”

“If you are in America illegally, you could find yourself in Indiana’s Speedway Slammer,” Noem continued. “Avoid arrest and self deport now using the CBP Home App.”

The nickname is ostensibly about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a famous motor racing circuit located in Speedway, Indiana.

DHS credited the new partnership to the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, which “fully funded” 287(g) — a program that deputizes local law enforcement with Immigration
