US EditionCincinnati Children's chaplain detained by ICE
HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO, JUL 9 – Ayman Soliman's asylum was revoked in December 2024, leading to his ICE detention amid concerns he faces persecution if deported to Egypt, advocates say.
- Ayman Soliman, a former Cincinnati Children’s Hospital chaplain, was detained by ICE during a three-hour meeting in Blue Ash after his asylum was revoked in December 2024.
- In December 2024, USCIS revoked Soliman's asylum, making him eligible for deportation and leading to his detention after the FBI terror watchlist flag, supporters say.
- Court records show Soliman was granted asylum in 2018, flagged on the FBI terror watchlist, and has sued federal officials multiple times over the flag.
- Following his detention, faith leaders and politicians called for his release, citing fears for his safety if deported to Egypt, while supporters rallied outside the Blue Ash DHS office.
- His legal team plans to file two motions for his release and a bond hearing, with an asylum case hearing scheduled for later this summer.
