Good morning, Clermont County. As summer's final holiday weekend fades into memory, Cincinnati's riverbanks offered both celebration and tragedy. The spectacular WEBN Fireworks lit up the night sky Sunday, providing a dazzling finale to Riverfest amid warplanes, renaissance revelry, and music festivals across the region. Yet just hours earlier, those same waters became the scene of a somber recovery operation as Boone County Water Rescue teams located the body of a drowning victim near the riverfront.
Meanwhile, a tense immigration standoff continues brewing in Butler County, where Cincinnati imam Ayman Soliman remains detained despite a federal court order preventing his deportation until October. As supporters appeal to Governor DeWine for intervention, Sheriff Richard Jones has taken the extraordinary step of declaring he would defy any gubernatorial release order—creating an unusual jurisdictional showdown with potential constitutional implications for the former hospital chaplain's case.

🕌 Sheriff vows to defy governor if ordered to free jailed imam. Cincinnati imam Ayman Soliman remains detained in Butler County Jail as supporters plead with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine to intervene in his immigration case. Sheriff Richard Jones declared he would refuse any gubernatorial order to release Soliman, who faces potential deportation to Egypt where advocates say he could face torture. A recent federal court order prevents Soliman's deportation until October, giving his legal team time to fight for the former Cincinnati Children's hospital chaplain's release.
