Bloomington’s refugee support organizations have felt the impact and expressed concerns about the stance on deportations by Gov. Mike Braun and Trump. Read More : Legal immigrants still worried about deportation under Trump Organizations like Exodus and The Bloomington Refugee Support Network have helped refugees integrate in Bloomington.

Indiana University has partnered with Exodus to provide support and opportunities for students to volunteer and teach English. The Exodus Bloomington office has helped more than 60 of its clients find jobs and opportunities in IU.

Kirkwood Avenue will close to vehicle traffic from Indiana Avenue to Walnut Street starting April 4. The decision was made to increase community engagement and commerce for local businesses. Read more: City board finalizes 2025 Kirkwood Outdoor Dining Program The Kirkwood Outdoor Dining Program began in 2020 during the pandemic to provide outside seating to local restaurants that had to adjust to indoor social distancing. Council members want to close Kirkwood for community matters but not for economic reasons, as was done in the past. Certain council members view Kirkwood as an experience rather than a walkable street. The closure of Kirkwood has raised concerns for businesses downtown; only half said in a recent survey that they support the closure. Read more: City considers long-term extension of Kirkwood outdoor dining program Accessibility worries were brought up during the city council vote, with community members expressing concerns about accessibility for people with disabilities and the elderly.

Stream the show LIVE On the first day of his term, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that added a 75-day period of non-enforcement on the TikTok ban. Three days earlier, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously upheld the federal law banning TikTok and on Jan. 18 the app was banned on all U.S devices. TikTok is currently facing scrutiny for collecting user data and allegedly sharing it with the Chinese government and knowingly allowing harmful activities on TikTok Live. The supreme court ban was issued because of concerns of manipulation of content by the Chinese government and obtaining access to user data. Congress passed the legislation to ban TikTok unless the platform was sold to a government-approved cooperative. TikTok CEO Shou Chew attended President Trump’s inauguration, as did the CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg and X owner Elon Musk. With over 170 million Americans using TikTok daily, President Trump is looking to reinstate TikTok permanently. Generation Z makes up 60 percent of the TikTok userbase. This week on Noon Edition we’ll talk with IU professors of cyber security and media ethics, as well as a TikTok content creator. Guests: Ava Wilson , Indiana University undergraduate and TikTok content creator Lois Scheidt , IU instructor in adolescent internet use and digital ethics Scott Shackelford , executive director, Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research…

IU plays at Notre Dame on Friday night in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti led the team to an 11-1 record and No. 9 ranking in the Associated Press poll. Read more: IU to play at Notre Dame in football playoff opener With IU’s sudden success, the university last month signed Cignetti to a new eight-year contract worth $8 million per year plus an annual $1 million retention bonus. The university agreed to renovations at Memorial Stadium and a much larger pool of money for assistant coaches and other support staff. Despite the team’s unprecedented record — and the national exposure that came with it for IU and Bloomington — there are skeptics. The Hoosiers lost 38-15 to the only ranked team they played, Ohio State on the road, reinforcing a belief by some that IU is overrated. Cignetti said this week the team has something to prove against the Irish. Read more: Snow in South Bend? Bring it on, Cignetti says IU and Notre Dame last met in 1991 at Notre Dame Stadium.

Read more: Death penalty foes rally against plans to restart Indiana executions Eight men are on death row in Indiana. The last state execution was Matthew Eric Wrinkles in 2009.
