LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- President Donald Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan was in Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Homan highlighted the Trump administration's immigration policies during his speech at the statehouse.
He later joined Gov. Mike Braun and Attorney General Todd Rokita in urging Indiana lawmakers to support what they call "The Fairness Act."
If passed, the state could punish employers who knowingly hire undocumented immigrants.
Earlier this year, a similar bill passed in the House, but died in a Senate committee. Homan is now pushing Indiana lawmakers to "help President Trump" by passing it next session.
"When you stood up here talking about the legislation, I was like a kid in the candy store sitting down here," Homan said. "Hopefully that becomes law."
Homan also held a closed-door meeting with sheriff's offices and Republican lawmakers to take questions about Indiana's immigration policy.
Floyd County Sheriff Steve Bush was among those in attendance.
"Whatever you can do — the state of Indiana — to help us make this state safer," Homan said.
