3 Greater Cincinnati areas on Trump administration 'sanctuary jurisdictions' list
Three Greater Cincinnati areas are defying federal immigration law, according to a new list published by the Trump administration. President Donald Trump issued an executive order April 28 directing U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to release a list of "sanctuary jurisdictions" obstructing "the enforcement of federal immigration laws." These jurisdictions made the list in Ohio: Cincinnati Columbus Franklin County Lorain County Warren County These made the list in Kentucky: Campbell County (misspelled as Cambell County) Franklin County Jefferson County Scott County Louisville The executive order calls for federal funds going toward these jurisdictions to be suspended or terminated, and for Homeland Security to "pursue all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures" to make them compliant with federal immigration law. Officials in Republican-leaning Warren and Campbell counties told The Enquirer their inclusion on the list was a mistake. The Cincinnati City Council in 2017 declared Cincinnati a "sanctuary city," but the label was symbolic and didn't lead to any concrete policies. The declaration occurred before the current city council and Mayor Aftab Pureval entered office. Though the label doesn't carry any specific policies, the current council is aware it could jeopardize federal funding to the city. Pureval previously told The Enquirer Cincinnati would remain a "welcoming community," but that the city would follow federal immigration laws. "If the president of the United States, backed by the Senate and the House of Representatives, wants to do something as it relates to immigration, then they're going to do it," Pureval said on The Enquirer's "That's So Cincinnati" podcast in January. "And there's no mayor in the country, particularly a mayor of a blue city in a red state that's going to be able to do anything about it." City officials did not immediately return The Enquirer's request for comment. This story was updated to include all Ohio and Kentucky jurisdictions on the list.

Ranking the Cincinnati Bengals' all-time greatest schedule release videos (2019-2024)
It's the Super Bowl of subtle jabs and viral memes: NFL schedules release Wednesday. In what has become a league-wide tradition to reveal the 17-game slate, the Cincinnati Bengals will likely premiere their 2025 schedule release video via social media Wednesday night. Advertisement To all NFL social media staff out there, we see you and we respect you. With that being said, we ranked the Bengals' schedule release videos from the past six seasons (2019-2024), with No. 1 being the best video. Here's where the Bengals' schedule releases stand. (We will update this ranking later once the 2025 video drops). No. 1: Pee-wee football-themed release, 2024 Coming in at No. 1 is the Bengals' 2024 schedule release video, which featured a cast of pee-wee football players in an intense game against numerous Bengals mascots. Plenty of kid-friendly special effects made their way into the mascot football game, including a tackle made with an electric guitar and a couple of plays cut short thanks to the use of a magic portal and a lasso. Throughout the video, NFL fans might've spotted a couple semi-subtle jabs at opposing teams (did you see the Kermit the Frog cameo right ahead of the baby Bengals' Week 2 standoff against the Chiefs?). No. 2: Technology-centered video (ft. Mayor Aftab Pureval), 2023 The Bengals' media team used the world wide web angle to its advantage for the 2023 schedule release, with the help of Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval. Advertisement Pureval took jabs at the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of their 2023 AFC championship game against the Bengals. In a video posted to social media, Pureval referred to Arrowhead Stadium as "Burrhowhead Stadium." After the Chiefs won, tight end and former UC player Travis Kelce responded by called the mayor a "jabroni." In the release video, a notification popped up, alerting that Pureval had tweeted. The video went on to, of course, have the mayor announce when the Bengals would face the Chiefs, noting that he had "nothing else to add." Bengals' offensive tackle, Orlando Brown Jr., who played for the Chiefs during the 2023 AFC championship matchup, recorded Pureval and said, "I think that was better than the last time." The video also featured multiple other cameos, include appearances from comedian Gary Owen, TV host Kay Adams and former Bengals wide receivers A.J. Green and Trenton Irwin. No. 3: Leaning into Burrow's cigar-smoking image, 2020 In a now-deleted tweet, the Bengals revealed their 2020 schedule by kicking things off with a "Rick Roll like it's 2011 again," CBS Sports previously reported. Advertisement The team leaned hard on the image of its No. 1 overall pick, quarterback Joe Burrow, by centering the video around the iconic image of the QB smoking a cigar after winning the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship with LSU and current teammate Ja'Marr Chase. According to CBS Sports, the schedule was revealed "through individual cigars getting labeled with the corresponding opponents of each week, including one that just says, 'Bye.'" No. 4: 'The Legends Pack,' 2021 The Bengals used their legendary players and game moments to announce their 2021 schedule with a playful spin on football cards: "The Legends Pack." The 1980s-style video started with a static TV screen turning on. Each week was accompanied by a prominent former Bengals player and their legendary in-game moment. Advertisement Wide receiver Chad Johnson kicked off the video, followed by Jim Breech, Tim Krumrie, Willie Anderson, Bob Trumpy, Isaac Curtis, Boomer Esiason, David Fulcher, Lemar Parrish, Ken Riley, James Brooks, Ken Anderson, Reggie Williams, Corey Dillon, Dave Lapham and, lastly, Cris Collinsworth. No. 5: Who Dey zooms on a scooter, 2019 Who doesn't love a good mascot video? For the Bengals' 2019 schedule debut, the team had its favorite Bengal, Who Dey, "zoom" through downtown Cincinnati, the Bengals' stadium and the team's weight room on a Razor scooter to announce the schedule. The video was simple, but it got the job done. No. 6: Relying on Photoshop and bad animation, 2022 In another now-deleted post, the Bengals combined over 100 stock photos and bad animation to reveal their 2022 schedule, which the team dubbed "the biggest Bengals season ever." Advertisement "What happens when you combine 100+ stock photos, bad animation, and the biggest Bengals season ever?The 2022 Schedule Release!" the Bengals wrote in the deleted post. The Bengals' 2022 schedule release was among CBS Sports' "six best social media reveals" for its creative use of Photoshop. Enquirer reporter Grace Tucker contributed to this story.

JD Vance's half brother Cory Bowman will face off against Democrat in Cincinnati mayor race
WASHINGTON - Vice President JD Vance's half brother Republican Cory Bowman will face off against Democratic incumbent Aftab Pureval in November for Cincinnati mayor, after both candidates survived the May 6 primary. Bowman - who shares the same father as Vance - ran in a nonpartisan primary along with Pureval and Republican candidate Brian Frank. Since Pureval and Bowman were the top two finishers, they will advance to the general election. Pureval was elected Cincinnati mayor in 2021, becoming the first Asian American to hold the role. He has a heavy advantage in a city, which is deep blue. Voters there chose former Vice President Kamala Harris over President Donald Trump, 76% to 24%, in the 2024 election. Vance had endorsed his half-brother, saying in a post on X that 'He's a good guy with a heart for serving his community.' Cincinnati mayoral candidates Brian Frank, left, incumbent Mayor Aftab Pureval and Cory Bowman take the stage during The Cincinnati Enquirer mayoral debate at the Covedale Center for the Arts Tuesday, March 25, 2025. Unofficial primary results showed Pureval with over 80% of the vote and Bowman with 13% of the vote. "What I will say is that looks like he had a good head start, but we're kind of catching up a little bit," Bowman said. "So once I see the numbers there, I'll know what our mission, our focus needs to be going into November.' Pureval wrote in a post on X that, 'It's an honor to make the ballot for this November's general election. There is work ahead of us in Cincinnati, but I am incredibly proud of what we've accomplished over the past few years.'

JD Vance's half-brother advances in Cincinnati mayor's race
The half-brother of Vice President Vance was projected to advance in Cincinnati's mayoral primary, setting up a long-shot bid to oust incumbent Democratic Mayor Aftab Pureval, according to Decision Desk HQ. Cory Bowman, who is a pastor and local coffee shop owner, moved on in the top-two nonpartisan primary election on Tuesday that also included Pureval and another Republican, Brian Frank. In the city's primary, all candidates compete on the same ballot regardless of party and the two highest vote-getters move on to the general election in November. Pureval advancing was almost a certainty in the heavily left-leaning city, but who his opponent would be in the general election was up in the air. Vance sought to rally support for Bowman's campaign in a post on the social platform X earlier on Tuesday, calling him a 'good guy with a heart for serving his community.' 'Get out there and vote for him!' Vance said. Bowman told The Cincinnati Enquirer in February that he spoke to his half-brother in the 'initial stages' of running and that Vance inspired him to seek public office. Pureval, who has served since 2022 after easily winning his last election, will be the heavy favorite to be reelected to a second term in office. But Bowman has said he's prepared for an uphill battle for mayor. Cincinnati hasn't had a Republican mayor in more than 50 years. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
