Cincinnati, Ohio — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained Imam Ayman Soliman on July 9 following a scheduled meeting in Blue Ash. The former chaplain at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital’s detention comes after the revocation of his asylum status in December 2024.
In a related development, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine recently vetoed several bills, including one that aimed to eliminate the state’s film tax credit program. This sets the stage for a legislative session on July 21, where state lawmakers are expected to review potential overrides of DeWine’s decisions.
Also making headlines is a newly filed lawsuit in Ohio that claims a proposal to fund a new stadium for the Cleveland Browns using unclaimed funds violates the state constitution. The legal challenge has sparked discussions about the financial implications for both the city and taxpayers.
