Ohio politicians use Cincinnati fight for their agenda, ignoring tougher issues
Don't be fooled by politicians outraged about the ugly, viral brawl that left Cincinnati with a shiner so big the entire nation noticed. Vice President JD Vance, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Viviek Ramasamy, and U.S. senators Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted of Ohio aren't upset about the incident that also drew criticism to Columbus and other large American cities. The July 26 downtown Cincinnati fight that sent two to the hospital with non-life-threatening but shocking injuries was awful, but it was far from an example of the worst crime problems communities here or around the nation face. You wouldn't know that listening to Vance and the rest. That is by design and follows a very old playbook. The Cincinnati victims are White. The suspects are Black. Our Republican leaders' and possible future governor's collective outrage against it is "smart" but divisive politics that builds on a long tradition of freaking White people out about the scary Black uprising overtaking larger American cities. Hell, it traces back beyond slavery, it is so old. The rhetoric is shameful, but there are more substantial consequences. The political games played by Vance, Ramaswamy, Moreno and Husted distract from the real conversations about violence that should happen in Cincinnati, Columbus and elsewhere in Ohio. Ohio politicians rather finger-wag than put forth real policy Why push for policies that improve the lives of Ohioans when you can race-bait and shake your finger at political opponents at the same time? Crime is an easy target against Democratic mayors of Ohio's large cities, but it isn't the problem of only Democratic mayors of large Ohio cities. Ohio's representatives in Washington — Vance included — should be working for solutions. Ohio Gov.. Mike DeWine, a Republican, gets that complaining about an issue is no solution. Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval has accepted help from the governor's that includes traffic enforcement to free up police, data analysis of where crime happens and the use of a helicopter for criminal suspect searches, and vehicle pursuit mitigation from the Ohio State Highway Patrol. It would be too much like work to push for policies that address the bevy of real problems that impact Ohio communities, big and small. Take gun violence and domestic violence, for instance. As bad as the Cincinnati fight was, no soul was lost. Gun violence is a real issue in Ohio According to Johns Hopkins University, guns were the leading cause of death among children and teens in 2022. There were 1,831 deaths that year, including 102 children. According to the report, 1,046 of those gun deaths were suicides and 738 were homicides. The prior year, there were 155 domestic violence-related homicides in Ohio. Nearly 70% were by firearm. In a press release, Moreno announced that the U.S. attorney general has launched an FBI investigation into the Cincinnati brawl, even though it was already being prosecuted in the Queen City. Wouldn't it be nice if he were as passionate about advocating for gun violence victims? For instance, where was the outrage when 17-year-old Cameron Moore was killed and five others were wounded in a mass shooting at a July 4 house party on Columbus' Southeast Side? So much more could be done to keep guns out of the wrong hands, and people want those in power to do something. Opinion: Are thugs ruining date nights in Columbus? JD Vance says so. What do you say? Poll after poll shows that Ohioans from all political persuasions overwhelmingly support gun policies like mandatory background checks, red flag laws, safe storage laws and training for concealed carry. There are solutions to gun violence but our leaders on the state and national levels do not have the will to push for them. It is easier and smarter to stoke fear. Through their statements and social media posts, they conjure images of "lawless thugs" enabled by Democratic city leaders like Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval, who, according to them, lean so far to the left that they are barely upright. Pureval is considered one of the few stars in Ohio's politically weak Democratic Party. Of course, he's a target. Pureval should have jumped ahead of the scandal. Part of a mayor's responsibility is to create safe environments for people in their cities. People were hurt, and the city's reputation — at least in the short term — was damaged. That doesn't change the fact that Vance, Moreno and the rest are using it to feed fear and score points with online trolls. What's not happening in Columbus Asked about the fight during a press conference in Canton, Vance's memory has to be jogged to remember that Moreno sent him a clip of a video. He then launched into a baseless rant about lawless thugs in great American cities, ignoring the fact that violent crime is down in most Ohio cities. "How many of you all have wanted to go to downtown Akron or downtown Canton or downtown Columbus for a meal, but you're worried because the local authorities in these big cities have allowed lawlessness to run wild? We have got to make great American cities safe again for families and children," Vance said. The Cincinnati resident might as well have said, Black city thugs beat up White people trying to enjoy a night on the town. "They are ruining date night in Columbus." His assertions do not match facts. Opinion: Asking kids about guns in their homes helps save lives Murder and non-negligent manslaughter decreased by 11.6% nationally in 2023 compared to the previous year, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program. Aggravated assaults were down nearly 3%. There have been 45 homicides recorded in Columbus this year as of July 28, the city's lowest homicide rate in at least 12 years. Felony assault cases were half of what they were two years ago on the same date — 454 reports. One case does not make a trend The facts of the fight are far less divisive than the notion that cities are infested with criminals. During the July 26 incident in downtown Cincinnati captured on multiple cameras, a White man was pummeled by multiple Black people after an apparent verbal argument escalated. A White woman seemingly lost consciousness after being punched in the head by a Black male. Cincinnati officials should have addressed the public concerns sooner, but the crime hasn't been swept under the rug. At the writing of this column, five people have been charged in connection with the viral brawl that pushed Cincinnati into the national limelight. Two victims were treated at a hospital and released, according to Cincinnati police. Two victims treated and released won't get you reelected. Stoking the flames is sexier than simply saying "police are investigating." In a video posted to his Instagram page, Husted said the victims were beaten to nearly the "point of death" and decried efforts to defund the police. "Not only did people not intervene and help, but they actually participated in the beating of these victims," Husted said. "I called all three of them — and there may have been more. In conversations with them, they didn't understand why. I know maybe more facts will come out in this situation, but this is the point that's true: This is happening in America, across our cities, like it did in Cincinnati. It's not tolerable." It shouldn't be tolerated, but it is flatly inflammatory to claim it is a common occurrence. There is no mass outbreak of people being beaten up on the streets of America. There are real problems and real solutions. It saddens me that officials with the ability to do good won't do anything but make things worse. It is an outrage that they'd rather divide us with racist tropes than bring us together. Amelia Robinson is The Columbus Dispatch opinion editor.

Judge blocks DHS from stripping protections for 60K from Nepal, Honduras, Nicaragua
A federal judge ruled against Trump administration plans to end protections from deportation for citizens of Nepal, Nicaragua and Honduras, barring their removal while the case continues. San Francisco-based U.S. District Court Judge Trina Thompson agreed the plaintiffs had shown there was sufficient racial animus behind the decision and that the Trump administration had failed to undertake an 'objective review of the country conditions' before ending protections. 'The freedom to live fearlessly, the opportunity of liberty, and the American dream. That is all Plaintiffs seek. Instead, they are told to atone for their race, leave because of their names, and purify their blood,' Thompson wrote. 'The Court disagrees.' The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Nepal in June and for Nicaragua and Honduras in July. Each country initially was initially designated after natural disasters, but the protections can also be offered to those unable to be deported to their home country due to civil unrest. The moves would require 51,000 Hondurans and nearly 3,000 Nicaraguans who have been in the country for roughly 25 years to leave the county by September. Some 7,000 Nepalese citizens were also set to lose protections in just days. Thompson reviewed a number of prior comments from President Trump as well as Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, including comments from the secretary referring to migrants as criminals and gang members while the president has stated that migrants were 'poisoning the blood of our country.' 'Indeeed, code words may demonstrate discriminatory intent,' she wrote. 'Color is neither a poison nor a crime.' Thompson said DHS failed to do the fulsome review required to end TPS, determining that the Trump administration did not consider conditions beyond recovery from the hurricanes that rocked the Central American countries and the earthquake that sparked the designation for Nepal. 'Unlike previous iterations of DHS notices on Honduras, the Honduras notice does not mention political violence or crime,' the judge wrote. 'The new notice also omits the anti-democratic human rights violations and the humanitarian crisis which has led to 108,000 people fleeing the country,' Thompson said of Nicaragua. She added, 'The notice concedes that 'Nepal has continued to experience subsequent regional environmental events, including flooding and landslides' and that 'Nepal remains one of the poorest countries in the world' but nevertheless finds that modest economic growth (two percent) and reconstruction efforts support a termination of Nepal's TPS designation.' The Trump administration has argued citizens of all three nations have remained in the country well beyond the natural disasters that ignited TPS and that past administrations have abused a protection that is designed to be temporary. But Thompson determined that administration failed to rebut arguments that citizens of the three countries should be allowed to remain in the U.S. while the trial continues. 'Although Defendants argue that a delay in the Secretary's decisions would undermine United States foreign policy and national interests, Defendants have failed to identify the exact foreign policy or national interest at stake,' she wrote.

US and Allies Accuse Iran of Assassination, Kidnapping
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The United States and 13 allied nations have issued a joint statement accusing Iran's intelligence services of carrying out assassination attempts, abductions, and harassment campaigns targeting individuals across Europe and North America. Governments including France, Germany, Canada, and Britain joined the U.S. in condemning Tehran's alleged extraterritorial actions, labeling them a violation of national sovereignty. In response, the Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the allegations as "baseless and ridiculous." Newsweek has reached out to the U.S. State Department and Iran's Foreign Ministry for comment. Why It Matters The coordinated statement represents one of the strongest multilateral rebukes of Iran's intelligence activities to date. It highlights growing international alarm over Tehran's alleged willingness to use foreign-based criminal networks to silence its critics abroad. Following the 12-day war between Israel and Iran as well as U.S. airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear sites, the joint statement reflects mounting concern over Tehran's regional behavior and nuclear ambitions. It also underscores fears that Iran's operations now extend beyond the Middle East as part of a wider global campaign.

Basij militants, wearing military uniforms, hold a variety of rifles and the flags of Hezbollah and Iran during a parade of an alleged 110,000 paramilitary Basij and IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) forces in downtown Tehran, Iran, on January 10, 2025. MoreWhat To Know The signatory nations accused Iran of systematically targeting journalists, dissidents, and current and former government officials—particularly those critical of the regime—in a coordinated campaign of violence and intimidation. "We are united in our opposition to the attempts of Iranian intelligence services to kill, kidnap, and harass people in Europe and North America," the joint statement said. The U.S. State Department posted the joint statement on X, amplifying the message to a global audience. We all agree: Iran must stop targeting our citizens on our own soil. — Tammy Bruce (@statedeptspox) July 31, 2025 Assassination Attempts The U.S. Justice Department in 2023 indicted three individuals tied to a European criminal network accused of plotting to assassinate a dissident Iranian-American journalist on behalf of Tehran. Later that year, another man was charged over an alleged Iranian plot to kill then-U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump. British authorities reported disrupting over 20 Iran-linked plots since early 2022, including attempted kidnappings and assassinations of individuals considered threats by Tehran—some of them British citizens. Dutch officials said they foiled a 2024 plan to assassinate an Iranian national in the Netherlands. Two suspects were arrested, one of whom was also linked to the attempted shooting of a Spanish politician. Iran Rejects Allegations Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei dismissed the accusations as "baseless and ridiculous," calling the claims a brazen attempt to deflect blame and shift public attention away from what he described as "Israeli genocidal crimes in Palestine." He further rejected the security-related claims and turned the accusations back on the West, asserting that the U.S., France, and other signatories should "be held accountable for the measures in violation of the international law."

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei holds a weekly press conference in Tehran on October 28, 2024. Israel on October 26 launched air strikes on military sites in Iran, risking further regional escalation more than a year into the Gaza war and a month into the Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon. MoreWhat People Are Saying Joint statement by the United States and 13 allies: "We are united in our opposition to the attempts of Iranian intelligence services to kill, kidnap, and harass people in Europe and North America in clear violation of our sovereignty." Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei: "The U.S., France and the other countries that have signed the anti-Iranian statement must themselves be held accountable for the measures in violation of the international law in support of terrorism as the sponsors and hosts of the terrorist and violent elements and groups." What Happens Next With nuclear talks stalled and regional conflict escalating after the Iran-Israel war, Western governments may push for stronger diplomatic and legal measures against Tehran, as concerns mount over its expanding global intelligence operations.
