Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted a series of raids across Indianapolis, with residents capturing video of arrests near the Carriage House Apartments and at a Marathon gas station on East 38th Street. The operations sparked division among local leaders: Mayor Joe Hogsett said his office received no advance notice and called the raids "cruelty" that deters residents from school, medical appointments, and grocery stores, while U.S. Sen. Jim Banks defended ICE's actions as a "constitutional responsibility." U.S. Rep. Andre Carson launched a congressional inquiry into the scope and probable cause of the arrests, citing data showing 96% of ICE arrests in July involved people without prior criminal convictions and raising concerns about racial profiling. An immigration attorney said federal policy changes have made it increasingly difficult and costly for detained individuals to secure release from custody, and local officials referenced 287(g) agreements in nearby counties as a model for law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
