Why is this ICE story breaking news? Is it really effecting Carmel and daily life in Carmel? Do you report all new other tenants looking to locate in Carmel?
It appears that for some reason you’re trying to make a biased claim of a government agency moving to town that you might find alarming.
This could be a good opportunity for student field trips to actually learn about ICE and what they do and how they do it. A true civics lesson for kids that have no idea.
And maybe the paid protesters can lease space next door.
We got a shocking civics lesson fron ICE ! Videos of ICE officers executing victims of their crazed tactics that can not be unseen by anybody that has been exposed to those videos . They are unforgetable and undeniable . ICE must be held accountable just like any other civil policing organization .
Kevin +1
A civics lesson in how to tread on people’s constitutional rights without accountability?? How un-American…absolute disgrace
Kevin and Glen, those of us who live in the side of Indianapolis populated by a large number of Christian Burmese refugees who have fled a country that the State Department says to this day is unsafe to visit … are quite bothered by the idea that the Trump Administration can just pull their refugee status because of their skin color and send the back to face persecution for their faith.
And, no, I’d rather not go about my daily life and watch fellow Christians who have committed no crime get disappeared for no reason other than the racism of the Trump Administration.
Why would they need a field trip? The brutality and lawlessness are recorded for us all to see. A better use of time would be to an American history museum for a reminder of the values this country was actually built on. The real history, not this fake MAGA white supremacist crap
“pAiD pRoTeStErS”
You’re such an unserious and un-American person.
Field trips? Paid protesters? LOL. Spoken like a fully indoctrinated Trumper.
+1 everyone except Kevin P. and Glen F.
“paid protesters” – what a joke. Kevin P., stop watching Fox News and step into reality. There has been no evidence of paid protesters. I have proudly attended protests here in Indiana and saw no evidence of paid protesters. My son lives in Minneapolis, a mile from where Alex Pretti was shot 10 times; he has attended protests and has friends who have done so, and none of them have seen any evidence of paid protesters. Just real humans who care about civil rights and are willing to do something about it (as opposed to the majority of Congress who sit idly by while civil rights get trampled on day after day).
Check out the facts: https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/minneapolis-are-protesters-paid-fact-check/
Pathetic that Ice is creating an office in carmel
You must want a bunch of illegal criminal immigrants to hang out in your neighborhood
Why??
Glen…tell me u live in Martinsville without telling me u live in Martinsville. Must hurt to be that scared of humans
Gotta respect that the racists are so eager to reveal themselves these days
Can we send illegal felons to live with YOUR family in YOUR house? Just askin’
What is pathetic is that the amateurish president of the City Council, as espoused by his performative letter, thinks the federal government needs the city’s permission to locate a federal office.
@ Glenn and Dominic Well, since Americans commit more crime than illegals by a long shot, I guess I will stick with the undocumented…
Uhhhh, Carmel ?
The most non illegal immigrant City in the US. I’m guessing between cracking down on our huge immigration problem here, they like the choice of midtown restaurants.
All the illegals are in Home Place which is now Carmel.
I’m not sure anyone is against the deportation of individuals that are in the US illegally. The issue is how they are treating the humans and how they are being removed. Why not Carmel? We don’t want to be associated with these tactics. ICE isn’t a new department and deportation isn’t a new process by any administration. The HOW its being done is the issue.
The problem with ICE is that they are targeting people with legal status and deporting them, They are targeting US citizens and detaining them. In addition, many of the people that don’t have legal status are hardworking people paying taxes and spending money and that creates more economic opportunity for everyone.
By the way, the reason there are so many people without legal status is that it seems the Republican party likes it that way. (Don’t tell me president-elect Trump didn’t kill a bi-partisan immigration bill) If they fix any of the problems in the current system, it would take away an opportunity to dup people like you. Ask yourself if everyone agrees that immigration is a mess, and the Republicans has control of both houses of congress and the presidency, why hasn’t something been proposed?
Dan – I’m all for streamlining the process and making them legal. 100% agree with what you are saying. If you come to the US to work, pay taxes and be a good human, I think you should be welcomed.
The government doesn’t want to fix the mess, that’s not “fun” for them. I think a clean slate, on all sides of the aisle is in-order.
Kudos to both for outlining some of the nuance with both how ICE and DHS as a whole conducting itself but also the root cause of the issues we have. It’s always worth a reminder that being in the country illegally is NOT a criminal offense, merely a civil one. If republicans would like it to be a crime, which I am sure they would, then they should draft legislation and sell it to the American people and their colleagues on the other side of the aisle.
This is a typical ICE operation. Leave local authorities in the dark. No cooperation, no coordination. No regard for bill of rights, or the constitution. Let’s welcome the new American gestapo.
When you compare anything to the actions of the Nazi’s such as the gestapo, you desecrate the memory of the millions of Jews, homosexuals, and Poles killed by them. Shame on you for your performative hyperbole.
And shake on you for ignoring and not listening to the folks who lived through the Holocaust who look at what’s happening in America and point out the many, many comparisons to what’s happening now you are willfully ignoring.
Explain why ICE needs to build 23 warehouses to detain people. Why they need a budget larger than the Marines to build a private army. Spend the money on judges and solve the issue of court backlogs by processing people out of the country faster.
Joe B, they need all those facilities and resources because the previous senile resident of the White House opened up the gates and let over 10 million illegals flood the country. Which felonious illegal can we instead assign to stay at your house with your loved ones?
Why do MAGAts like Dominic think the only two options available to citizens are support ICE domestic terrorism fully, or welcome any and all criminals into your home? Very weird
Felonious illegals? You mean the ones who are turned over directly from police custody to ICE?
Those in the country illegal are not guilty of felonies, especially those who are came here legally and are having their status canceled out from underneath of them. That’s who ICE is rounding up to meet Miller’s quotas. Them’s the facts regardless of what misinformation is in your head.
You could simply process them out of the country the same way Obama did and not need any facilities, which is far cheaper than detaining them for long periods of time. Now, try again. Why exactly does the federal government need 23 detention facilities, and why does ICE need more money than the Marines?
Maybe if you sit down and think about it, you’ll realize that you are being played.
The amount of misinformation and lies posted here about ICE is over the top. Clearly, the Democrats’ propaganda machine is in overdrive gaslighting the public in hopes of exploiting the tragedies in Minneapolis for purely political purposes.
Calling all criticism of ICE “propaganda” ignores the fact that there are documented, verifiable instances of abuse and misconduct. Federal courts have ruled in multiple cases that U.S. citizens were mistakenly detained by ICE. There have been lawsuits over deportations carried out despite pending legal appeals or court-ordered stays. The Department of Homeland Security’s own Office of Inspector General has issued reports criticizing detention conditions and oversight failures. Journalistic investigations and court records — not just social media clips — have detailed cases involving excessive force, lack of identification by agents, and due-process violations.
People aren’t inventing concerns out of thin air. Many of us are reacting to documented court cases, official reports, and firsthand accounts. Disagreeing about immigration policy is one thing. But dismissing all criticism as “propaganda” sidesteps real, documented incidents that deserve scrutiny in any system that exercises significant enforcement power. We ALL have eyes and ears and brains and the ability to interpret the things we see hear.
Those weren’t “tragedies” in Minnesota. They were out and out murders of innocent US citizens by anonymous and lawless “police” recorded on multiple videos, for which the officers involved have not been called to account.
If a local police officer in most Indiana jurisdictions shot anyone to death under similar circumstances, s/he would be on administrative leave and under investigation.
Like this guy?
The Incident: Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum shot Marimar Martinez multiple times on October 4, 2025, in Chicago, claiming she tried to ram agents with her car.
The Text Message: Following the shooting, Exum sent messages to fellow agents in a group chat, writing: “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys”.
