May 11, 2021 / 06:05 PM EST INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The City of Indianapolis will now spend $150,000 to help immigrants who are seeking legal status. The Indianapolis City-County Council on Monday night approved an ordinance that will allocate the money to pilot an immigrant defense fund. The money will help immigrants in Indianapolis seeking asylum, or those at risk of deportation with legal information and much more. “I believe that this is a great change for Indiana and I think we should commend all, everyone, that’s working hard for that,” said Hector Morales, grants coordinator at Central Indiana Community Foundation. The $150,000 will help immigrants pay for attorney fees, citizenship, and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals applications.
