The City, its officials (including Mayor Aftab Pureval), and the Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) intentionally deny the children of Cincinnati the care and support they need to survive.

On July 24^th, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order entitled “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets.” This order demands that cities do more to “address” homelessness and serves as the basis for the current federalized crackdown that is occurring in Washington, D.C.

On June 4, Cincinnati City Council released a report with more superficial ways the council could “support immigrant communities.” The report listed four actions for the council to take, none of which involved eliminating the entity actually threatening immigrant communities: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Reports have confirmed that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) arrested multiple people in East Price Hill during the first weekend of June. This was not an isolated assault, but part of a broader pattern of state violence and neglect. These arrests bring the number of immigrants held against their will in Butler County Jail, a known ICE contractor, to over 300.
