In the first half of 2025, there has been a dramatic increase in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in the Greater Cincinnati Area. ICE agents operating out of a field office in Blue Ash have begun conducting immigration raids, arresting, detaining and deporting local residents — many of whom have no criminal charges — without due process.

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.
