ICE agents conducted enforcement operations in Clark County on Wednesday and Thursday, detaining at least 28 people who are being held at Clark County Jail. The Clarksville Police Department headquarters served as a staging area for federal agents. Community members reported increased ICE presence at locations including a Home Depot parking lot in Clarksville where Latino workers typically seek employment, and immigrant services organizations said clients canceled appointments out of fear of leaving their homes. Noe Muñoz, owner of El Mañanero Breakfast Spot, closed his restaurant Thursday due to community fear after his brother was pulled over by a Corydon police officer in an unmarked vehicle on Wednesday during what appeared to be a pretextual traffic stop that resulted in no citation; Corydon, more than 20 miles from Clarksville, is reportedly the only police department in southern Indiana enrolled in a program allowing it to act on behalf of ICE. Local activism groups expressed concerns about the enforcement operation.
