Pope Leo XIV has blasted an immigration policy favored by President Donald Trump’s administration as not being the “Christian” response to people fleeing war, violence, and conflict.
The Chicago-born pontiff was asked Tuesday to weigh in on “remigration,” a mass deportation plan pushed by the European far-right that has also been embraced by the Trump administration.
Trump used the term on the 2024 campaign trail, and last year the State Department created a secretive “Office of Remigration” that was apparently inspired by Europe’s extremist movements’ bid to expel foreigners simply because they’re foreign, Wired reported last month.
