‘An open border is the most inhumane’: Trump’s catholic border czar invites the Pope on an ICE patrol to defend his boss

Border czar Tom Homan just publicly invited Pope Leo XIV to join him on a ride-along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

During a TurningPoint USA event, Homan stated, “I’ll sit down and talk to him, because they’re talking about something they don’t understand.” For Homan, this isn’t just about policy; it’s about the safety of those who might otherwise fall victim to dangerous cartels.
