SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (RNS) — “We have orders of deportation,” said a volunteer in a raised voice, posing as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and pounding on the sanctuary door. “What you’re doing is harboring.”
Inside the sanctuary, hundreds of trainees blocked the large wooden double doors. One called out, “We’re exercising our First Amendment right to freedom of worship.”
The handful of faux ICE agents moved to a different entryway. As they pried open the side door to the sanctuary, some trainees held up phones to record the encounter while others blew whistles.
The scenario was part of a roleplay exercise at a rapid response training in Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday (Jan. 24). Despite the winter storm in the forecast, nearly 200 people from in and around Springfield gathered at Central Christian Church for the event organized by G92, a new Springfield-based coalition of pro-immigrant churches and advocates named after the 92 times the Hebrew word “ger,” which means stranger or sojourner, appears in the Hebrew Bible.
“For many people, this isn’t just a political issue, it’s also a spiritual issue,” said Central Christian pastor and G92 founder The Rev. Carl Ruby as he welcomed trainees earlier that day.
Community organizers at the G92 training told attendees they’d received “verified reports” from “many sources” that ICE would be arriving in Springfield on Feb. 3 or 4, and “staying for 30 or more days.” The timing coincides with the potential end of temporary protected status for Haitians — roughly 12,000 to 15,000 of whom call Springfield home.

Any left leaning woke churches should lose their tax exempt status for good.
Preferably on site.
Obstructing Law Enforcement is not covered by the First Amendment.
Christians are supposed to submit to authorities. If they throw those verses out, do they throw out John 3:16?
That’s right.
Investigate and prosecute whoever is funding these “rollplaying” sessions. And take away the “church’s” tax exempt status to boot.
And Jesus said 'get behind me Satan' .. These twit preachers ignore the best scripture lawyer in the 'Hebrew Bible' was the devil himself ... What did the 'serpent' whisper to that woman...
Pack the preacher up with the rest and let him go and leach off somebody else.
See how long the congregants support them with their own money , true charity, rather than their receiving tax payer money.It would be great to seethese overly proud people just get exposed for the frauds they are and humbled.
It should be "embrace". They're going home.
The Rev. Carl Ruby can help send them on their way to be counted in their census in Haiti, just like Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethelehem.
dewine’s last stand?
Calling Gov. Mike DeWimp...
Most churches in the West are “woke”.
It is axiomatic that any “church” that takes an ala carte attitude toward Biblical teaching is NOT a Christian Church - they are an apostate Sunday social club.
2 Timothy 3:1-7
“1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
I bet datarepublican (you should follow her on X) can find a way to show us how DeWine is corrupted. It may be as simple as one of the NGOs may have hired his wife as an employee. Usually, that tend to be the case.
Get out of my country!
Agree. And arrest any of the a-holes who interfere.
Want to protest? Fine. Stay on the sidewalk and away from the officers.
Oh, and stick your stupid little whistles where they’ll only be heard when you pull an Eric Swalwell.
