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-Sandoval’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-Sandoval’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 “Jodi” 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.

“We learned so much about the brain and the importance of neurological research during our son’s recovery,” said Stan Ross. “We want to ensure future generations benefit from cutting-edge research and care.”

Ohio State President Ted Carter Jr. praised the family, stating, “The Rosses’ support continues to drive innovation and excellence in neuroscience education and patient care.”

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 Columbus—through City Attorney Zach Klein—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 Attorney’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 city’s commitment to supporting Sanctuary Night’s mission, saying, “They do vital work, but everyone must operate responsibly and be a good neighbor.”

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

Ohio Lawmaker Pushes Bill to Eliminate State Taxes on Tips for Service Workers

Columbus, OH – An Ohio lawmaker is taking steps to increase take-home pay for service workers. State Rep. Brian Lorenz (R-Powell) has introduced House Bill 209, legislation that would eliminate state, municipal, and school district income taxes on tips earned by tipped employees.

The bill is gaining attention across Ohio, especially in Columbus, where workers like Isabella Chalfant, a barista at Little Cat Coffee and a former college server in Cincinnati, say tips are vital.

“Tips were my main source of income during school. I relied on them to afford essentials,” Chalfant shared.

Rep. Lorenz, who once worked in the restaurant industry, says the bill reflects the financial reality of tipped workers. “They are paid below minimum wage. They live off their tips,” he said after testifying to the Ohio House Ways and Means Committee.

In Ohio, the tipped minimum wage is currently $5.35 per hour, while the standard minimum wage is $10.70.

Not everyone is on board. Rep. Derrick Hall (D-Akron) questioned how accurately tips are reported. Governor Mike DeWine raised concerns about lost tax revenue and its effect on public services and schools.

Still, many in the service industry hope the bill passes.

“If we could keep all the tips we earn, it would make a huge difference,” Chalfant added.

The debate continues as House Bill 209 gains traction—raising broader questions about tax reform, worker compensation, and economic equity in Ohio.

Venezuelan Man Arrested in Perrysburg, Ohio for Posing as Teen to Enroll in High School

Ohio – A Venezuelan national has been arrested after allegedly using a false identity to enroll as a high school student in northwest Ohio.

Anthony Emmanuel Labrad Sierra, 24, reportedly posed as a 16-year-old named “Anthony Labrador” to gain admission to Perrysburg High School, located just outside Toledo. He is facing a felony forgery charge and is currently held at Wood County Jail on a $50,000 bond. Authorities have restricted him from leaving Wood County upon release.

According to a public statement from Perrysburg Schools Superintendent Thomas Hosler, Sierra claimed to be an unaccompanied minor and submitted documentation under a false identity. While enrolled, he received several official documents, including a driver’s license, Social Security number, and Temporary Protected Status from U.S. immigration authorities.

The fraud came to light on May 14, when the guardianship family informed the school district about inconsistencies. Perrysburg police began an investigation, and on May 19 at 4:15 p.m., Sierra was located in a vehicle and arrested without incident.

Superintendent Hosler stated, “This case involves highly unusual and deceptive circumstances that impacted multiple local, state, and federal agencies.”

This developing case raises serious questions about school enrollment protocols and immigration documentation processes across Ohio.

City of Columbus and Property Owners Held in Contempt Over Eastland Mall Property

Columbus, Ohio – A Franklin County judge has found the City of Columbus and the property owners of the abandoned Eastland Mall in contempt of court. This ruling follows the approval and hosting of an unauthorized event on the Eastland Mall site, which was explicitly prohibited by a prior court order.

Judge Stephanie Mingo confirmed that despite a ban on any events at the property, the City of Columbus Building and Zoning Department approved a permit for a carnival held on the Hamilton Road site last week. The mall property, currently undergoing demolition, was observed with carnival equipment and attractions being set up.

The court has also held the property owners, IGWT and Eastland Mall Holdings, responsible for violating the court order. An environmental specialist appointed by the court discovered at least eight unsecured entry points, raising serious safety concerns for the community.

Local residents, including Mary Ellen Crutcher, have expressed worry over the safety of children and community members, especially as multiple children were seen attempting to enter the partially demolished property illegally.

Judge Mingo emphasized the seriousness of the violation, stating that the actions of the city and property owners have deeply shaken the court. She plans to issue further rulings on sanctions and penalties soon.

In response, Scott Messer, assistant director of the Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services, issued a statement assuring the public that the department values its collaboration with the Environmental Court and will take internal measures to prevent such errors in the future.

This case highlights ongoing concerns about the safety and security of the Eastland Mall property and the responsibilities of city officials and property owners in protecting the community.

Columbus, Ohio – Memorial Day 2025 is just around the corner, bringing with it a deep sense of remembrance and the unofficial kickoff to summer. While it’s often associated with BBQs, family time, and the reopening of pools, it’s important to take a moment to reflect on the holiday’s true meaning.

When Is Memorial Day in 2025?

Memorial Day will be observed on Monday, May 26, 2025. Since the passing of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971, it’s been held on the last Monday of May, allowing for a three-day weekend of both reflection and recreation.

Why Do We Observe Memorial Day?

Memorial Day is a federal holiday dedicated to honoring the men and women of the U.S. military who died in service. Originally called Decoration Day, this tradition began in 1868 when the Grand Army of the Republic organized tributes to fallen Civil War soldiers by adorning their graves with spring flowers.

Over time, the holiday evolved to recognize all military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice. It officially became a national holiday in 1971.

What Will Be Closed on Memorial Day 2025?

As a federal holiday, the following will be closed on May 26, 2025:

  • U.S. post offices and federal buildings
  • Ohio state offices, including the BMV
  • Most banks
    Some private businesses and retail stores may operate on adjusted hours. It’s best to check with individual establishments in Columbus for their Memorial Day schedule.

New Albany Church Leader’s Son Indicted on Additional Sexual Abuse Charges in Knox County, Ohio

Columbus, Ohio – Tom Keesee Jr., 36, the son of prominent New Albany church leaders Gary and Drenda Keesee, faces new sexual abuse charges after a Knox County grand jury issued a superseding indictment on May 19. The latest indictment includes two additional counts of rape and three additional counts of gross sexual imposition, increasing the total number of felony charges against Keesee to 32.

Back in April 2025, Keesee was first indicted on 27 felony charges involving rape, gross sexual imposition, and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. Multiple women have since come forward, alleging Keesee groomed and abused them during their childhoods, with one accuser — a family member — publicly sharing her experience on social media.

According to court filings, some of the alleged abuse began as early as 2001, when one victim was just five years old, and continued over 50 instances through 2023 at a Mount Vernon, Ohio residence.

Keesee is being held at Licking County Jail on a $2 million bond, with his trial anticipated to draw significant public and media interest due to his high-profile connections to the New Albany megachurch.
