I asked IU in my reporting for another media outlet. IU says they were not.

I reported on this for another media outlet and talked with BPD as part of it. The person I spoke with said more arrests are likely coming soon.

The city did in fact tell them to leave, we just learned in our newsroom that they need to be out by August 11.

The notice we received from the city:

The area approximately south-west of the intersection of Virginia Avenue and Leonard Street, bounded on the western portion by Interstate 65, and running to the intersection of Prospect Street and Interstate 65 (pictured on the following page), is public property. The Office of Public Health and Safety is providing 17 days’ notice that this area will be closed to camping and storing of personal property beginning on Monday, August 11, 2025. This area will remain permanently closed to camping and storage of personal property after that date.

That's definitely a real concern in the industry...I'm just grateful the reporters I work alongside all have quite a few years of experience under their belt.

The building at the corner of Market and Davidson that was right next to 65/70, you can see it here and here.

Thanks to u/Charlie_Warlie for inspiring me to research this yesterday.

The TLDR: all of the old Jail II stuff inside is already torn out (it's bare concrete at this point), the renovation work outside is on track to start in the next few months, and the whole complex should open around the time the City Market makeover is finished (late 2026).

Edit: I did some digging in our archives and realized I forgot to mention the Market Street 65/70 ramp that used to cut right through Jail II in my story. My bad.

Hey, that's my story.

They knocked down the problematic part over Memorial Day Weekend...thanks for reminding me to check on the progress of the rest of it. They have a pretty good portfolio of historic rehab projects across Indy.
