Overview

• Ayman Soliman was detained on July 9 during a routine ICE check-in in Cincinnati after hours of questioning.
• He says officials accused him of terror links, including two murders in Iraq, an allegation he denies and says lacked any evidence.
• He was held at Butler County Jail for 72 days, spent five in isolation, and reports being denied commissary and contact with his attorney.
• Community organizers and attorneys, including Robert Ratliff, Nazly Mamedova and the Muslim Legal Fund of America, led the push that preceded his release.
• Soliman expects his immigration benefits to be restored and plans to seek a green card after losing his hospital chaplain job during the case.
