ACLU of Ohio
@acluohio
Dedicated to maintaining and extending constitutional and other fundamental rights, liberties, privileges, and immunities.
As we prepare for a second Trump presidency, we understand how unsafe so many are feeling right now. But regardless of immigration status, everyone has basic rights that are protected by the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws. aclu.org/know-your-righ…
The path to a successful future is full of roadblocks for those re-entering society after incarceration. Ohio lawmakers must work to remove these barriers so men and women who have served time can return home and lead constructive and flourishing lives. cleveland.com/opinion/2025/0…
Mr. Soliman is the beloved and long-time Cincinnati Children’s Hospital chaplain who was abruptly arrested by ICE officials after his asylum status was terminated. He has been detained at the Butler County Jail since 7/9. We are fighting for his release. cincinnati.com/story/opinion/…
Sen. Bernie Moreno told Punchbowl News that Republicans would probably end up with a 12-3 map that "reflects the state." That would give Republicans 80% of the congressional seats in a state where Trump won 55% of the votes. #EndGerrymandering signalcleveland.org/ohio-resdistri…
We agree with @SouthPark on this point: Public schools are not Sunday schools, and religious freedom thrives best when the government stays out of it.
Three weeks ago, Mr. Soliman was working as a chaplain at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Since 7/9, he's been at the Butler County Jail. We urge the immigration judge to swiftly release him from unlawful ICE detention. cleveland.com/metro/2025/07/…
The work continues in 2026! Proud to be a member of this community-powered campaign working to create an alternative-police response program to reimagine public safety in Columbus.
📢Our campaign has collected tens of thousands of signatures for The Community Crisis Response Amendment over the past several months and we are working to place the issue on the May 2026 primary election ballot. 🧵
Our case challenging Ohio's ban on gender affirming care for trans youth now sits before the Ohio Supreme Court. We will continue to do everything in our power to ensure transgender children and their families have the ability to live freely and thrive. cleveland.com/news/2025/07/o…
The ACLU is the tip of the spear fighting Trump's fascist & cruel policies. Let's support it. I do. aclu.org @aclu.org @acluindiana.bsky.social @acluohio.bsky.social
We will do everything in our power to preserve the dignity and humanity of immigrants and asylum seekers living in Ohio.
Freedom delayed for Mr. Soliman - a bond decision yet to come from Cleveland immigration judge. We'll continue to fight for his release from ICE detention. We urge the court to review all the facts and grant bail after additional briefing is submitted. cincinnati.com/story/news/202…
🗣️At 1pm Ayman Soliman (revered imam and former interfaith chaplain at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital) will have a bond hearing in immigration court to determine his potential release from ICE detention. We are fighting for his swift release. Stay tuned. salon.com/2025/07/22/he-…
Ohio is one of the only states redrawing its U.S. Congressional districts before the 2026 elections. The stakes couldn't be higher for fair maps. cincinnati.com/story/news/pol…
The U.S. remains one of a shrinking number of countries that still uses the death penalty, despite record low public support for the practice. Ohio has not carried out an execution since 2018. We won't stop fighting until it is abolished once and for all.…
The number of immigrants detained in Ohio jails has tripled since January. President Trump's mass deportation plans are inhumane and reckless. Local law enforcement should reject his overreaching and harmful agenda. cleveland.com/news/2025/07/t…
A Gallup Poll released last Friday shows 78 percent of the nation now in support of providing a path to U.S. citizenship for illegal immigrants who have committed no other crimes. Republican voter support for deportation has fallen by 40 percent since the election.…
The death penalty is inhumane, inequitable, and error ridden. Today marks 7 years since the state of Ohio carried out an execution. We won't stop fighting until it is abolished once and for all.
🗣️7 in 10 ICE detainees at Butler County Jail have no criminal convictions. Local collaboration with ICE also drives immigrant communities into the shadows and makes everyone less safe. usatoday.com/story/news/202…
The Constitution and our laws are clear: The federal government cannot bully state officials into carrying out deportations, nor can they punish them for declining. beaconjournal.com/story/news/pol…
