Central Christian Church senior pastor Carl Ruby prays with visiting Springfield citizens after a protest outside of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Cincinnati Field Office on Sunday, Aug. 2, 2026. Ruby waited outside for hours in front of the main office’s entrance, as a Haitian man that is part of congregation sat in an appointment inside. The man fears returning to Haiti, as his brother was recently kidnapped by gang members and burned alive. “I want to be standing here when he walks out, I don’t want him to come out and have nobody here,” Ruby said.
