Journalists among at least 13 arrested during immigration-related protest in Cincinnati

HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO, JUL 19 – Thirteen protesters, including two CityBeat journalists, were arrested for blocking the Roebling Suspension Bridge during a demonstration supporting detained immigrant Ayman Soliman, police said.

  • On July 17, 2025, Covington Police Department arrested 13 people, including two journalists, after demonstrators blocked the Roebling Suspension Bridge during a protest supporting Ayman Soliman.
  • Amid a vigil and march, protesters rallied for Ayman Soliman, detained last week during a routine ICE check-in, after asylum was revoked last month over alleged ties to a group linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
  • Video from the march shows an officer punching a protester several times, a black SUV driving slowly onto the bridge, and charges including rioting and obstructing emergency responders.
  • On Friday, a judge set a $2,500 bond for those arrested, and Covington Mayor Ron Washington and Police Chief Brian Valenti held a press conference where Mayor Washington noted most protesters complied.
  • A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order until July 23, and Soliman is scheduled to make an initial video court appearance Tuesday.
