Summary
President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has expressed his willingness to discuss immigration policy with Pope Leo XIV, despite the Vatican’s criticism of the administration’s stance on the issue. Homan, a lifelong Catholic, believes that the pope’s opinion would change if he understood the “atrocities” that occur on the open border. The comments come amidst a spat between the Trump administration and the Vatican over immigration policy and the Iran conflict.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Tom Homan, a “lifelong Catholic,” is open to discussion with the pope, but wishes the Vatican would “stay out of immigration.” The pope has criticized the administration’s interior immigration enforcement tactics, while Homan believes that the secure border is “saving thousands of lives a year.” The feud between the Trump administration and the Vatican continues, with the pope saying he has “no fear” of the administration.
The ritual of public disagreement has begun.
