Bishop Dwayne Royster

Bishop Dwayne Royster is a faith leader involved in advocating for immigrant rights. He is newsworthy due to his active participation in recent events concerning immigration policy and Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Specifically, he was involved in an event at St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Springfield, Ohio, in February 2026, where hundreds gathered to support extending protected status for Haitian migrants in the U.S. Royster and other faith leaders demonstrated solidarity with the Haitian community facing the potential end of their TPS. While not explicitly mentioned in the second article, his general advocacy aligns with the protests in Minnesota against ICE presence and immigration crackdowns. His actions highlight the role of religious leaders in the ongoing debates surrounding immigration and the treatment of immigrant communities in the United States.
