WFHB Local News – September 16th, 2025
This is the WFHB Local News for Tuesday, September 16th, 2025.
In today’s feature report, we revisit a segment from Correspondent Ella Cummings surrounding ICE activity in Bloomington. Cummings will be live in the studio asking for your support during our Fall Fund Drive. More in today’s feature report.
Also coming up in the next half hour, Lil Bub’s Lil Show – a co-production between WFHB and Lil Bub’s Big Fund.
But first, this message:
This is WFHB’s Fall Fund Drive! The WFHB Local News is your daily, award-winning source for Bloomington’s stories – from city government to in-depth features on the issues shaping our community. Every weekday at 5 p.m., volunteers, students and staff bring you news you won’t hear anywhere else.
Community radio is rare. And stations with fully independent newsrooms like ours are even rarer. But to keep WFHB Local News strong, we need your support. Our goal for today’s broadcast is to raise $600.
Every dollar you give is doubled thanks to a $100,000 anonymous match. That means your $25 becomes $50, your $50 becomes $100 – and every gift helps protect independent local journalism.
With cuts to public media, listener support has never been more important. Your donation ensures WFHB stays on the air, free from corporate control and political influence. Call 812-323-1200 right now, or visit wfhb.org and click the red donate button. You are the heartbeat of community radio. Thank you for keeping WFHB – and your community news – alive and thriving.
Feature Report:
BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA: Protesters demonstrate against ICE sweeps on May 2, 2025 in Bloomington, Indiana. At least 4 people were arrested but the true numbers aren’t known as the United States Government hasn’t released any official information. Arrest records indicate at least three were being held in a Kentucky jail after undercover federal agents swept the city knocking on doors in working class areas while hunting undocumented immigrants.

Over the summer, a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations have left Bloomington residents on edge. Community advocates say ICE’s presence has led to fear, confusion and the cancellation of public events. In today’s feature report, WFHB Correspondent Ella Cummings speaks with local organizers, legal experts and city officials about the impact and the community’s response to ICE activity in Bloomington. We now re-broadcast that feature report on the WFHB Local News during our Fall Fund Drive. Stay tuned to hear Ella live in the studio following today’s feature.
Up next, Lil Bub’s Lil Show – a co-production between WFHB and Lil Bub’s Big Fund. We turn now to that segment on the WFHB Local News.
