Pope Leo Urges U.S. Bishops to Support Immigrants

Pope Leo XIV has increased his calls for U.S. bishops to support immigrants amidst President Trump's escalated deportation efforts. Meeting with immigrants and advocates, Pope Leo received letters detailing their "pain and anxiety." While avoiding direct mention of Trump or Chicago, the Pope emphasized the critical need for the church to speak "forcefully and in unity" on immigration, a stance reflecting concerns about the "radical" changes in the U.S. The U.S. Bishops' conference is set to address the issue, with the Pope advocating for a unified statement.
