US EditionTrump’s Border Czar Says Pope 'Oughta Fix the Church' Before Commenting on US Immigration Policy
Tom Homan, a former immigration official, offered to explain U.S. border enforcement to Pope Leo XIV amid bishops urging policy changes to protect migrants and families, citing Gospel values.
- On Feb. 25, Tom Homan, lifelong Catholic and Trump immigration appointee, told reporters he wanted to 'school' Pope Leo XIV about migrant risks and claimed Vatican penalties exceed U.S. illegal-entry rules.
- The bishops' statement urges Congress and the White House to change immigration policies, including restoring asylum access and ending raids at sensitive places.
- Wester emphasized `We can't throw the immigrants under the bus, we need to speak up for them, come what may`, urging Catholics to defend migrants' rights.
- The administration has shown willingness to target critics and organizations like Catholic Charities, while last month the White House announced a visa exemption praised by some bishops, and the State of the Union on Tuesday showed little contrition.
- The Vatican's own rules complicate Homan's critique, noting last year’s fines and Cardinal Fabio Baggio’s mention of the pope’s concern, contrasting Homan’s claims of effective deportations with U.S. rhetoric.
