Immigration law in the United States generally includes the rights and obligations of persons who are not U.S. citizens to temporarily visit or more permanently reside in the U.S.—and for federal and state governments to enforce immigration laws regarding visitors and residents.

Most immigration law consists of federal statutes and regulations—but many state laws impact both legal and illegal immigrants—including employment checks, E-Verify, law enforcement, driver's license requirements, public benefits restrictions, and more.

In Indiana, as in all states, immigration law is primarily governed by federal statutes and regulations, which dictate the rights and obligations of non-U.S. citizens wishing to enter, reside, or work in the United States. The federal government has the primary authority to enforce immigration laws. However, Indiana has state laws that also affect immigrants, both legal and undocumented. For instance, Indiana employers are required to use the E-Verify system to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the U.S. State law enforcement may also cooperate with federal authorities in the enforcement of immigration laws. Additionally, Indiana has regulations regarding the issuance of driver's licenses to immigrants and restricts access to certain public benefits for those without lawful status. It's important for immigrants in Indiana to be aware of both federal immigration laws and the specific state statutes that can impact their legal status and rights within the state.
