Trump’s Deportation Drama: Muslim Chaplain or Terrorist? Jury Still Loading

Ayman Soliman, a 51-year-old Muslim chaplain at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and self-proclaimed 'escapee-from-Egyptian-jail,' faces ICE detention since losing his asylum, granted under Trump in 2018, revoked under Biden, then overpowered by Trump’s reentry in 2025. Before his joke 9 a.m. ICE check-in on July 9 in Blue Ash, Ohio, Soliman filmed a video asserting he fled death, not for better parking. But surprise FBI agents turned his charity work from 10+ years ago into alleged ‘material support’ for the Muslim Brotherhood—an NGO neither US nor Egypt calls terrorists. Now stuck in a jail with 'Illegal Aliens Here' signs, thanks to a sheriff who speaks fluent Fearmongering, he awaits a trial on Sept 25 while DHS plays judge, jury, and executioner. Meanwhile, his hospital called this a 'Schindler’s List moment,' because nothing says ‘interfaith imam’ like being lumped in with potential terrorists based on decade-old charity gigs and false Iraq murder warrants to boot.
