  • Local Pulse: Immigration Arrests, Retail Rush, and Holiday Pet Adoptions in Columbus

    Local Pulse: Immigration Arrests, Retail Rush, and Holiday Pet Adoptions in Columbus
    Dec 21 2025
    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Sunday, December twenty first, and we are catching you up on what is happening around our city right now.

    We start with breaking news from city hall and our neighborhoods. According to ABC 6, federal immigration agents have stepped up enforcement across central Ohio, and ICE confirms two recent arrests here in Columbus, calling those arrested the worst of the worst criminals. City Council President Shannon Hardin, Mayor Andrew Ginther, and Police Chief Elaine Bryant are all stressing that Columbus police do not enforce federal immigration law, but they will respond if officers are in danger. Community groups are planning protests this afternoon near Park Meadow Road in Westerville, and we know many of us are feeling anxious, especially in immigrant neighborhoods from the Hilltop to the North Side.

    On public safety more broadly, Columbus police report no major overnight shootings, but they are still investigating several serious incidents from earlier in the weekend, including armed robberies near Parsons Avenue and Livingston and a carjacking reported near Cleveland Avenue and Morse Road. Officers say patrols remain heavier in those corridors, and they are asking us to keep porch lights on and cameras working, and to call in anything suspicious rather than confronting people ourselves.

    Weather wise, we step outside to a cold but fairly quiet Sunday. Forecasters with FOX 28 say our highs stay in the mid 30s today with a mix of sun and clouds, light winds, and dry roads, a good window for last minute errands or a walk along the Scioto Mile. Tonight drops back into the 20s with slick spots possible on bridges, and we warm into the 40s and even low 50s by mid week, which could make it feel more like early spring than late December.

    Around town, Easton Town Center is still packed with last minute shoppers, and Cam Around Town on FOX 28 stopped by Marin Coffee in Westerville, a new Yemeni inspired cafe serving fruit pastries that have been going viral. Over in Franklinton, more small loft style apartments are hitting the market, with rents starting around fourteen hundred dollars, as developers keep betting on growth near COSI and the new Crew stadium. Local recruiters say warehouse and logistics jobs around Rickenbacker are still hiring, with starting pay near twenty dollars an hour and plenty of overtime as the holiday rush continues.

    In community news, COSI is running its Membership Mania holiday offer, the Columbus Zoo is drawing crowds to Wildlights, and our arts scene stays busy downtown at the Ohio Theatre and the Short North. On campus, Ohio State celebrates its art department seniors with a show at Urban Arts Space, giving us one more free stop if we head down High Street.

    In sports, the Columbus Crew have re signed defender Rudy Camacho through the 2026 season, keeping a key veteran in the back line after their recent success. The Blue Jackets continue to lean on goalie Jet Greaves, who is trying to lock down the starting spot as the team looks to steady its season at Nationwide Arena. Local high school teams are easing into the holiday tournament schedule, with strong early showings from programs on the south and west sides.

    We close with a feel good story from Mound Street. The Franklin County Dog Shelter’s holiday sleepover program set a record over Thanksgiving, and staff say many of those foster pups are now getting permanent homes just in time for the holidays. It is one more reminder that we can change a life with a ride across town and a warm couch.

  • Weekend Roundup: Murder Plea, Road Updates, Tech Growth, and Community Events

    Weekend Roundup: Murder Plea, Road Updates, Tech Growth, and Community Events
    Dec 20 2025
    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Saturday, December 20. We start with breaking news from our courts. Rebecca Auborn pleaded guilty yesterday to four counts of murder and one count of felonious assault for intentionally overdosing men she met in northeast Columbus. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost praised the airtight investigation by BCI and Columbus Police, saying it brings justice to grieving families. She faces sentencing on February 20.

    On the roads, watch for changes today. The flyover ramp opens on I-70 near Third Street, but the Third Street ramp closes for bridge work, so plan alternate routes around downtown. Yesterday, I-670 West shut down near John Glenn International Airport for hours during a death investigation that police say appears to be a suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, call or text 988 anytime.

    City hall updates hit voting rules. Governor DeWine reluctantly signed a bill ending Ohios four-day grace period for mail ballots, meaning they must arrive by Election Day. He worries a Supreme Court ruling could create chaos otherwise, but voting rights groups call it a barrier for thousands of voters.

    Our job market buzzes with tech growth. Columbus ranks as the sixth largest data center market globally, fueling over 1,100 new jobs from state projects in data and digital health. Hims and Hers plans a 200 million expansion in nearby New Albany, adding about 400 jobs in life sciences. Meanwhile, data center proposals face pushback in places like Ashville south of us over power demands.

    New business perks up too. Barrio Burrito Bar just opened another spot in Central Ohio, expanding from Delaware. On real estate, median home prices hover around 350,000 dollars, steady amid the boom.

    Weather today brings chilly highs near 35 degrees with light snow flurries that could slick side streets like High and Broad. Bundle up for outdoor errands, and expect clearer skies tomorrow.

    Sports quick hit: Local schools report strong wrestling wins at the district level. Community events ahead include holiday markets at North Market this weekend and a free concert at Express Live next Friday.

    For a feel-good story, Paradigm Health in Columbus raised 78 million to advance cancer research, making therapies more accessible right here.

    Crime in the past day stays low key beyond the highway incident, with no major alerts from Columbus Police.

  • Immigrant Enforcement Concerns, Cold Weather, Jobs Boost, Housing Market, and Community Giving in Columbus

    Immigrant Enforcement Concerns, Cold Weather, Jobs Boost, Housing Market, and Community Giving in Columbus
    Dec 19 2025
    Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Friday, December nineteenth.

    We start today with developing news from City Hall. Columbus leaders are responding to an uptick in federal immigration enforcement around our city. According to WOSU and ABC 6, Mayor Andrew Ginther and Police Chief Elaine Bryant say Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are conducting operations near highways like I 670, State Route 161 by Cleveland Avenue, and in some neighborhood parking lots. City officials stress that Columbus police are not helping with these immigration arrests and do not stop people based only on immigration status. They urge all of us, especially our immigrant neighbors, to keep calling 911 when we need help and to seek verified information, not social media rumors.

    As we move through our Friday, our weather stays seasonably cold and mostly cloudy across central Ohio. We are looking at chilly temps through the day, with a light breeze making it feel a bit colder at bus stops and on downtown sidewalks along High Street and Broad Street. Any outdoor practices or evening events at places like Goodale Park or around the Scioto Mile may feel brisk, but we stay mainly dry, with a similar cool pattern into the weekend.

    On the economy and jobs front, the Silicon Heartland story keeps growing. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce Research Foundation reports more than forty billion dollars in private data center investment across our region, with Columbus ranked as a top ten market nationally. That wave of construction in places like New Albany and around the Intel corridor in Licking County supports tens of thousands of jobs, from electricians to engineers. For listeners, that means steady hiring in skilled trades, IT support, and logistics, even as some neighbors worry about water use, noise, and traffic near their neighborhoods.

    In real estate, agents report that central Ohio home prices remain elevated but are stabilizing. Typical list prices in many Columbus neighborhoods hover in the mid three hundreds, with shorter days on market close to downtown and in hot spots like Clintonville and Grandview. Renters continue to feel pressure as new luxury units rise along High Street in the Short North, but some older buildings on the east and south sides are offering small discounts to fill vacancies before year end.

    Our culture calendar stays busy. This weekend we have holiday concerts at the Ohio Theatre and community performances in German Village, plus live music sets along North High in the Short North and in the Arena District. Libraries and community centers on Karl Road and Parsons Avenue are hosting family events and craft days through the weekend.

    In schools, several Columbus City Schools teams are in the thick of winter sports. Local high school basketball programs are posting strong early records, and middle school robotics and STEM teams across the district are wrapping up fall competitions with multiple top finishes.

    On public safety, beyond the ICE operations we mentioned earlier, Columbus police report the usual mix of overnight calls, with no major citywide emergency. Officers continue to focus patrols around busy shopping areas on Morse Road, Easton, and Sawmill as holiday traffic picks up.

    For a feel good note to end on, community groups and volunteers are organizing coat and toy drives from Linden to the Hilltop, making sure families have warm clothes and kids have something special waiting at home. Churches, nonprofits, and neighbors are stepping up together, reminding us what community looks like on our own streets.
