In a heated exchange, President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, criticized Pope Francis for opposing strict U.S. immigration policies. Homan, a lifelong Catholic, pointed out that the Vatican—a sovereign city-state led by the Pope—has protective walls, questioning why the U.S. can't have similar border security. The Pope had previously rebuked U.S. policies, emphasizing the importance of compassion for immigrants. Homan insisted on focusing on national security while urging the Pope to address issues within the Catholic Church. The debate highlights the ongoing tension in the U.S. over immigration policy and humanitarian concerns.
