Tusrap The administration’s strategy becomes fast combative.
The step Bishop Mark Sethz also showed a video to Leo, which gave details of the plight of the migrants, and later told the Associated Press that Leo vowed to “stand” with him and Catholic leaders who were trying to help them.

Catholic leaders in the US have condemned the rift of the Trump administration, dividing families, provoking life in American churches and schools that serve migrant communities. The administration has defended a rift as a security of public safety and national security.

In the last weekend, Leo celebrated a special holy year month for migrants, condemning “coolness of apathy” and “stigma of discrimination”, which are desperate to escape from migrant violence and often suffer. When asked by reporters this week about the rift in Chicago, Leo refused to comment.
On Wednesday, the Leo Setz and a delegation of about a dozen people were running late to the audience, including members of the Hope Border Institute, a advocacy group, which was formed in partnership with El Paso Suba. Members of the delegation assured Leo that they would stand with him while talking in a Vatican reception room.
