Border czar Tom Homan on Thursday invited Catholic leadership to watch him and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials perform their duties and see “why illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.”
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has criticized ICE enforcement tactics and detention conditions, warning about fear in immigrant communities and saying bishops are concerned about “conditions in detention centers” and “lack of access to pastoral care.”
Pope Leo XIV similarly urged authorities to allow pastoral workers to minister to detainees and said longtime residents “never causing problems” have been “deeply affected” by current enforcement.
