The Batman family settled in Indianapolis about a year ago after fleeing war-torn Syria in 2012. Marwan, the father, works in a restaurant to provide for his wife and four children (wife and oldest daughter not pictured). On Monday, Gov. Mike Pence called for the resettlement of additional Syrian refugees in Indiana to be suspended, following Friday's attack in Paris carried out by ISIS. More than 20 states announced similar plans.
UNWELCOME After Paris terrorist attacks, governors oppose Obama’s refugee policy Support for suspending resettlement

INDIANAPOLIS — Almost 12 hours after Gov. Mike Pence announced his intent to block Syrian refugees from entering Indiana, the Batman family still hadn’t heard the news. The Batmans are one of eight families of Syrian refugees to have settled in Indianapolis since civil war ripped through the country in 2011. The TV in their small apartment has no signal, and the family finds all its news on Facebook. So when Rakan, 13, was asked at school if he supported ISIS, he didn’t know why. An IDS reporter explained the announcement Monday evening. It was the first time the Batman family had heard of it, and they fell silent. Marwan grabbed at a cell phone, hoping to call the governor and SEE REFUGEES, PAGE 9 More coverage online Visit idsnews.com for more graphics of Pence’s suspension of Syrian refugee resettlement in Indiana

Hoosiers defeat Governors By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94
Twelve minutes and 29 seconds. That’s how long IU went without missing a shot in the second half Monday night. That stretch included 15 straight field goals and IU extending its lead by 18 points against Austin Peay. IU used that streak, and 16 successful 3-pointers, to beat Austin Peay 102-76 at Assembly Hall. “It came because of really good movement of the ball, and our spacing was much better tonight than it was this past Friday night,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. Crean said he didn’t realize the Hoosiers were on a streak. Neither
102-76 did senior guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell, who had a game-high 22 points, including seven during the streak. He also had a game-high nine assists with three coming during the second half stretch. Ferrell made four 3-pointers in Monday’s game, the same as Blackmon Jr., who scored 20 points. In total, six Hoosiers made a 3-pointer Monday night while four scored in double figures. The Hoosiers leader in 3-pointers was senior guard Nick Zeisloft, who made five from behind the arc for all

15 of his points, four of which came after he had to leave the game in the first half with a pinkie finger injury. Zeisloft said his pinkie was fixed right away by the training staff. He only had to sit out six minutes after the injury, but for a lot of that time he was sitting at the scorer’s table waiting to check in. During the stretch of perfect shooting, Crean said the Hoosiers SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 9

Panelists expose human trafficking By Alyson Malinger afmaling@indiana.edu | @aly_mali
Tricked. Blackmailed. Forced. These are the actions that lead people into being trafficked around the world. “The biggest misconception of human trafficking is that it doesn’t happen here,” said Roshni Dhoot, senior and co-president of the Indian Student Association. “There are a lot of things that happen right before our eyes, yet we are unaware.” Human trafficking, or the forced acts of labor or sex work, is found almost everywhere, including Bloomington.
