- ICE detention of Egyptian-born imam Ayman Soliman at routine immigration check-in — Ayman Soliman, an Egyptian-born imam at Clifton mosque in Cincinnati, Ohio, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on July 9 while attending a routine check-in appointment.

He faces an immigration judge hearing on July 22 and a bond hearing on July 23.
