Pope Leo XIV's brother, John Prevost, has said the new pontiff would not remain silent on the issue of immigration, signaling that he is likely to continue Pope Francis' outspoken and critical approach to the Trump administration's immigration policy.
Francis frequently voiced his opposition to Donald Trump's mass deportations plans, famously criticizing his plan for a border wall between the US and Mexico during a speech back in 2016. He reiterated criticism after his 2024 election, saying in January that mass deportations would be a "disgrace" as it "makes the poor wretches who have nothing pay the bill."
