Indiana AID at a Glance
Indiana AID (Assistance to Immigrants in Detention) is a volunteer group that supports individuals detained by ICE in Indiana by visiting them, bearing witness to their experiences, and providing resources to them and their families. We have a group that visits the Clay County jail once per month to provide religious and spiritual support, as well as a virtual visitation program through which we offer to pair every immigrant who arrives there with a visitation partner. We also facilitate connections between immigrants and various service providers in our region, provide commissary support so that the people detained there can buy food and medicine, and offer general updates to the public about developments in immigration detention in our state.

Add your name to a list of people whom we can contact when we learn that an immigrant needs transportation, translation assistance, or other short-term aid.
Indiana AID is just getting started, and we are looking for people who can help build up our website, maintain the database, write newsletter updates, etc.
If you are an immigrant in need of assistance or are reaching out on behalf of one, you can call us at (317) 721-4044 and leave a voicemail or email us at indianaaidcontact@gmail.com in English or Spanish.
We will return your call within three days.
