Columbus Taco Fest Enforces New Safety Measures After Saturday’s Early Closure

Columbus Taco Fest Enforces New Safety Measures After Saturday’s Early Closure

Columbus, Ohio – The Columbus Taco Fest, a popular food and cultural event in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, was forced to close two hours early on Saturday evening after multiple fights broke out among attendees. The Columbus Division of Police instructed the crowd to disperse around 8 p.m., although the event was scheduled to continue until 10 p.m.

According to Hugo Albornoz, Executive Director of the Taco Fest, the decision to shut down early was made to protect the safety of guests, vendors, and staff. “The event closed today due to fighting, and we shut down for the safety of attendees,” said Albornoz.

Shortly after the event ended, a separate incident occurred involving a shooting near the Short North. Authorities reported that two individuals were injured, although it remains unclear if the altercation was connected to the Taco Fest.

In response to Saturday’s events, organizers are implementing updated safety protocols for the remainder of the festival:

  • Entry will be restricted to guests aged 21 and older.
  • Children 10 and under may attend if accompanied by immediate family members.
  • Increased security presence will be enforced throughout the venue.

This is not the first time Taco Fest has faced challenges due to public disturbances. In spring of the previous year, similar disruptions involving teenagers led to the introduction of age restrictions and heightened security.

โ€œWe had to close early around 8 p.m. to ensure everyoneโ€™s safety, including staff and vendors,โ€ said co-organizer Sydney Kondas. โ€œIt was the right decision under the circumstances.โ€

Ticket holders from Saturdayโ€™s event will be able to reuse their passes for Sunday. The festival is set to resume as scheduled from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, offering live entertainment, delicious tacos, and local vendor experiences.

Four Inmates Escape Columbus Minimum Security Facility Near Frebis Avenue

Four Inmates Escape Columbus Minimum Security Facility Near Frebis Avenue

Columbus, Ohio – Authorities in Columbus, Ohio are conducting an active manhunt after four inmates escaped a minimum-security correctional facility on the southeast side near Frebis Avenue. The escape happened around 9:20 p.m. Thursday, according to the Franklin County Sheriffโ€™s Office.

The individuals who escaped have been identified through court records as Nikko Burton, Jeremy Bowen, Mark Long, and Michael Norton. Reports indicate that the group broke a window, scaled a wire fence, and fled in the direction of Frebis Avenue.

Bowen was last seen wearing a yellow shirt and blue pants, while Burton, Long, and Norton were all dressed in grey hoodies and blue pants.

The facility, which has operated since 1993, houses non-violent male offenders and serves as a residential diversion program for adult inmates. Despite the facilityโ€™s low security classification, jail escapes are rare in the region. However, a video of the escape reportedly exists, though investigators have not yet released it due to the ongoing investigation.

Background checks show that Long was incarcerated for theft, while the others were in custody for parole violations.

Security expert Tony Casper noted:
“A jailbreak like this is very uncommon in Franklin County. But if it does happen, a minimum-security facility is typically where itโ€™s most likely to occur.”

The Franklin County Sheriffโ€™s Office urges the public to report any information about the escapeesโ€™ whereabouts as the investigation continues.

Federal Judge Denies Request to Delay Deportation of Pregnant Columbus Mother

Federal Judge Denies Request to Delay Deportation of Pregnant Columbus Mother

Columbus, Ohio – A federal judge in Columbus has denied a temporary restraining order that would have delayed the deportation of Carmen Guerrero-Sandoval, a pregnant mother from El Salvador currently living in Ohio. Guerrero-Sandovalโ€™s legal team sought the restraining order on May 19, citing potential violations of the constitutional rights of her U.S.-born children, including a 9-year-old son with autism.

U.S. District Judge Edmund A. Sargus Jr. ruled on May 22 that federal law restricts district courts from halting deportations on the grounds of children’s constitutional rights. The judge emphasized that only the U.S. Court of Appeals has jurisdiction over such claims.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Guerrero-Sandovalโ€™s lawsuit argues that her removal from the United States would deprive her children of parental care, affection, and support, violating their constitutional protections. The suit names Attorney General Pam Bondi and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as defendants and highlights that her deportation would especially impact her autistic son, a U.S. citizen.

Although Guerrero-Sandoval has been ordered to report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on June 3, government attorneys indicated during the hearing that there are no immediate plans to deport her. However, her attorney, George Katchmer, expressed skepticism and confirmed an appeal is underway at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The initial lawsuit remains active in federal court. The case continues to attract attention from immigration rights advocates in Columbus and across Ohio, especially as debates over deportation, family separation, and children’s rights intensify nationwide.

Ross Family Donates $10M to Wexner Medical Center

Columbus, Ohio – In a major act of philanthropy, the Ross family has donated $10 million to the Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University, marking another milestone in their commitment to advancing healthcare and neurological research in Ohio.

This generous contribution will help fund a new 26-story inpatient hospital tower, projected to open in 2026 pending Ohio State Board of Trustees approval. The tower will enhance critical care services, with the 14th floor dedicated to the Neurology Program named in honor of Stan and Joan โ€œJodiโ€ Ross.

The Rosses have a strong history of supporting Wexner Medical Center. In 2015, they also donated $10 million to establish the Stanley D. and Joan H. Ross Center for Brain Health and Performance. Additionally, they endowed the Chair of the Neurology Department.

Their philanthropy began after a life-changing experience when their son Malcolm was treated at Ohio State’s Dodd Rehabilitation Hospital following a serious spinal injury in 1993.

โ€œWe learned so much about the brain and the importance of neurological research during our sonโ€™s recovery,โ€ said Stan Ross. โ€œWe want to ensure future generations benefit from cutting-edge research and care.โ€

Ohio State President Ted Carter Jr. praised the family, stating, โ€œThe Rosses’ support continues to drive innovation and excellence in neuroscience education and patient care.โ€

Columbus Nonprofit Sanctuary Night Held in Contempt Over Nuisance Agreement Violations

Sanctuary Night in Franklinton faces legal action for agreement violations

Columbus Nonprofit Sanctuary Night Held in Contempt Over Nuisance Agreement Violations

Columbus, Ohio – Sanctuary Night, a nonprofit based in Columbus, Ohio, has been held in contempt of court after failing to comply with a court-approved nuisance agreement intended to curb illegal activity and safety concerns at its Franklinton facility.

On April 30, the City of Columbusโ€”through City Attorney Zach Kleinโ€”filed a nuisance lawsuit against the organization, located at 1195 Sullivant Avenue. The lawsuit cited open drug use, criminal activity, and prostitution as ongoing issues affecting the surrounding community.

A resolution was reached on May 7 when both parties agreed on specific corrective measures. These included banning drugs and alcohol on-site, installing police-recommended security features, reducing loitering, and serving only women-identifying clients.

However, according to court filings, Sanctuary Night blocked a city inspector from performing a required inspection on May 15, delaying entry until most clients had vacated. This action prevented timely verification of compliance.

As a result, Judge Stephanie Mingo ruled Sanctuary Night in contempt on May 23. City Attorneyโ€™s Office spokesperson Pete Shipley stated that ongoing monitoring will continue, with legal consequences if the nonprofit fails to meet its obligations.

Despite the legal action, Mayor Andrew Ginther reaffirmed the cityโ€™s commitment to supporting Sanctuary Nightโ€™s mission, saying, โ€œThey do vital work, but everyone must operate responsibly and be a good neighbor.โ€

The next court hearing is scheduled for July 24. The organization has yet to issue an official statement.
