Pope Leo XIV said many immigrants in the US were being treated in a way “that is extremely disrespectful,” supporting a recent statement by US Bishops expressing concern about immigration raids.
Pope Leo XIV has supported the US Conference of Catholic Bishops rare statement on US immigration and urged the US government to “treat people humanely.”
The Bishops’ message leveled criticism of President Donald Trump’s policies of mass deportation and the “vilification” of immigrants. The US clergy spoke about the fear and anxiety that immigration raids have sown in communities. They also rejected the denial of care to migrants in detention centers.
I don’t think many support a Pope that roots for illegal alien criminals.
