#KarolineLeavitt #Immigration #PopeLeoXIV
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt strongly disputed Pope Leo XIV’s accusation that the United States is engaging in “inhumane treatment of immigrants.” Her sharp rebuttal has put the White House on a collision course with the Vatican over immigration policy.
During a tense White House press briefing, Karoline Leavitt responded directly to questions about Pope Leo XIV’s remarks that accused the United States of mistreating immigrants. Leavitt pushed back forcefully, declaring that she “would reject there is inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the United States under this administration.”
Concerns have been raised in the past about conditions at holding facilities, overcrowding, and due process challenges in deportation proceedings. However, Leavitt argued that the current administration is acting in “the most humane way possible” while enforcing border security and upholding the rule of law.
This moment highlights a rare clash between global religious leadership and U.S. political leadership, with Pope Leo XIV pressing moral concerns and the White House defending its America First immigration agenda. The controversy is likely to fuel further debate among lawmakers, faith leaders, and the American public as immigration remains one of the most polarizing issues of 2025.
