An EF-2 tornado that destroyed @palsindiana barn did not stop the nonprofit from coming back better than before. The tornado struck on May 16th, 2025. One month later, they were back in the saddle. One year later and they are so close to finishing the brand new barn. They need about $186k to get it across the finish line! I learned about the importance of bringing their services back, and got to learn from Ava and Big D about what they love PALS! Full web story and the link to donate is in my Linktree in my bio! #bloomington #tornado #equinetherapy #indiana #severeweather

Another Indiana police department conducted a blitz with ICE agents to help them arrest illegal immigrants. We told you about the Avon Police Department’s ICE operation yesterday and during our reporting we discovered that the Whitestown Police Department did something similar. After reviewing body camera videos, we discovered a questionable stop where agents supposedly had a warrant for a man but it magically disappeared. Whitestown Police wouldn’t do an interview with us. Check out the full story tonight on FOX 59 #ice #indiana #whitestown #iceraids #news

Myself along with a team of students from IU’s Arnolt Center for Investigative Journalism have spent months looking into how some local police department are collaborating with ICE. All of this was sparked by a tip we got about this operation with Avon, Indiana police. We looked further and obtained the body camera videos to see how this happened. We called hundreds of police departments and Sheriff’s office to see if another agencies were collaborating with federal immigration officials. Look out for our full story later today on FOX 59, CBS 4 and The FOX 59 website. #ice #immigration #iceraids #indiana #news
