Overview

  • The White House press secretary said she disputes that illegal immigrants are treated inhumanely under this administration and argued officials enforce the law in the most humane way.
  • She also claimed conditions for migrants were much more inhumane under Joe Biden, a comparison reported without supporting evidence in the coverage.
  • The Department of Homeland Security drew backlash for an X post declaring that “Globalists” would no longer receive U.S. citizenship.
  • Pope Leo XIV had questioned pro‑life consistency by condemning harsh treatment of migrants and criticizing support for the death penalty, speaking to reporters at Castel Gandolfo.
  • Reporting noted that months before his election, then‑Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost shared online articles sharply critical of Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance on migration.
