In today’s feature report, WFHB News Correspondent Emma Maher spoke with protesters inside Franklin Hall, right outside the Bloomington Faculty Council meeting at Indiana University, where students and community members gathered to demand that the university declare itself a sanctuary campus.

These interviews explore growing concerns about campus safety and immigrant protections, and argue that without clear action from university leadership, vulnerable students and staff remain at risk.
