Just the News shared additional details:
The name of the space reflects Indiana’s auto racing culture, which is known for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
ICE is partnering with Indiana to use bed space at the Miami Correctional Center for illegal immigrants facing deportation. The partnership is funded by money set aside in President Trump’s new tax-and-spending bill known as the One Big Beautiful Bill.
“We are proud to work with President Trump and Secretary Noem as they remove the worst of the worst with this innovative partnership,” Indiana GOP Gov. Mike Braun said in a statement. “Indiana is taking a comprehensive and collaborative approach to combating illegal immigration and will continue to lead the way among states.”
“THE SPEEDWAY SLAMMER. Under 287g authority, state and local law enforcement can now assist with immigration functions, including: arrests, transportation, and detention,” DHS stated.
“287g is a force multiplier in completing the President’s mission and making America SAFE again,” it added.

More from the New York Post:
DHS noted the agreement was “fully funded” by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act Trump signed into law on July 4, which authorized spending for 80,000 new beds for ICE to utilize when detaining and deporting migrants.
Indiana’s “Speedway Slammer” follows the opening of Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” earlier this summer to assist the Trump administration’s deportation efforts.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis opened the swampland facility, located deep in the Everglades and on the site of an old airport, on July 3.
The property, outfitted with tent structures to house the illegal migrants, has the capacity for 2,000 detainees but will eventually hold 4,000.
The Trump administration began deporting migrants directly from the Alligator Alcatraz airport, which is able to accept commercial-sized aircraft and conduct both day and nighttime operations, on July 25.
