Recent ICE arrests in Northeast Ohio have left many questions unanswered. The news podcast Today in Ohio discusses the lack of information surrounding the arrests, including the identities of those detained, their locations, and the charges against them. The podcast also touches on various other topics, including the Cleveland Clinic's annual report, Ohio politics, and government proposals.
Laura Johnston, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio - Days after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents ramped up arrests this weekend, there is still much we don’t know, including who was arrested, from where and accused of what.Editor Chris Quinn hosts our daily half-hour news podcast, with editorial board member Lisa Garvin, impact editor Leila Atassi and content director Laura Johnston.
You’ve been sending Chris lots of thoughts and suggestions on our from-the-newsroom text account, in which he shares what we’re thinking about at You can now join the conversation. Call 833-648-6329 (833-OHTODAY) if you’d like to leave a message we can play on the.Information remains sketchy, but what do we know about the 20 people picked up ostensibly on immigration issues in Northeast Ohio over the weekend and taken to a Geauga County detention center? The Cleveland Clinic is Northeast Ohio’s biggest employer and one of the largest in the state, so when it gives an annual report, news happens. What did the Clinic have to say about 2024 and where it is headed in 2025? It’s interesting that on the same day we are talking about the Clinic’s lower-then-expected profit, we have a report on the top non-profits in Ohio and the nation when it comes to revenue. Where does the Clinic rank there? I repeat what I said last week, that the 2026 election is 23 months away. But we have two people jumping into races for it in Ohio. What have we learned about Vivek Ramaswamy? Keith Faber has been Ohio Senate president and, for the last six years, the Ohio auditor. He announced his next aim. What is he running for in November 2026? Is this a real problem, or is a lawmaker proposing a solution in search of a problem? What is the proposal to save government money when it comes to union workers? We learned Monday how much Ohio is offering to the weapons maker to build a new manufacturing plant near Columbus. It’s not football stadium money, but it is a lot. How much, and what form will it be in? Every year we ask when airport traffic will finally get back to pre-pandemic levels in Cleveland. Was 2024 the year? What’s the update on Cleveland City Councilman Joe Jones, whom we discussed yesterday involving allegations of misconduct in his council role?The Browns vs Cleveland: Why is this a battle with two fronts? Today in Ohio Flat earthers? Holocaust deniers? Jerry Cirino’s law says they deserve to be heard at Ohio colleges: Today in OhioThis new Donald Trump administration is going to keep our newsroom hopping. There’s even more stuff coming tonight that we’re not talking about there last night that we’re not going to get to today, but we’re talking about some of the things first up on Today in Ohio. It’s the news podcast discussion from cleveland.com and the Plain Dealer. I’m Chris Quinn here with Layla Tassi, Lisa Garvin, and Laura Johnston. And Lauren Layla, I’m pretty glad that we made sure not to start some big journalism initiative to start the year because we were going to need people to follow on what’s going on with the Trump revolution and we certainly do. Information remains sketchy but what do we know about the 60 or so people taken on ostensibly on immigration issues in Northeast Ohio over the past few days and taken to the Jogga County Jail? Laura.So there is so much we don’t know here and so much confusion because that 60 number, we’re just getting word this morning that they had about 40 people in before Sunday night. So while that number has been thrown around, we only know of about 20 people who came in Sunday night with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. And that’s coming from the Geauga County Jail, which is not telling us anything other than we have people here. brought in by ICE agents and we have a federal contract. So we don’t know who they are, where they’re from, what they’re charged with, what the accusations are, or really anything. This was done, they came in around 10 p.m. on Sunday night. We do have a photo somebody’s been posting on social media that shows a white van outside the Toulantro restaurant in Cleveland Heights and had some agents wearing the vests that said, ice on them. And we have a witness that says she saw five or six people getting into the back of this white van. But the mayor of Cleveland Heights really has no information, very little go on. He said the city was not informed. When we reached out to Homeland Security, we were told we were not going to receive information for them. So the only way we know that across the country, there is about 956 people taken on Sunday is because ICE did put out, I believe it was on social media, they put out a tweet or on X, that information, but they’re not breaking down. The national organization is not giving up. We had called out to all of our congressional representatives in Senate, called into ICE, no information and the secrecy is alarming. Yeah, let’s break it down a little bit. I mean, this is not a surpris
