Citizenship ceremonies across Ohio are being canceled or postponed, and naturalization approvals have slowed under Trump administration immigration policies.

Voters in Sylvania, Ohio, are set to decide a ballot measure that would limit the city government's role in immigration enforcement. The proposal would restrict how far local authorities can participate in federal immigration actions, making the city's stance on the issue a matter for residents to settle directly at the polls. Details of the measure, including the exact wording and the date of the vote, have not yet been laid out, but the debate places the Toledo-area suburb alongside a broader national conversation over local cooperation with immigration authorities.
