A first step would be to turn on hidden characters (bottom of Type menu, or Ctrl-Alt-I) so we can see what's going on, technically, with the paragraph.

 

I assume you've done things like delete those spaces and retype them, maybe including the words on each side?

Yep! I looked and apparently there was something hidden under there. Thanks!

I'd bet on imported text carrying bad typing or unintended characters. In these cases, a first step is always to just retype the string (so you get it right) then paste it in over the whole faulty area. Just deleting what seems like a space, here, might not eliminate the buggy character.
