Pope Francis slams Donald Trump’s mass deportations–’What is built on force begins badly and will end badly’

Live Mint  

Pope Francis has expressed deep concerns over the mass deportation program in the United States, warning that policies based on force rather than human dignity will have negative consequences. Condemning the human impact of deportation Despite recognising national security concerns, the Pope Francis strongly criticised the mass deportations, arguing that they "damage the dignity of many men and women, and of entire families." Warning against Trump’s deportation plan Pope Francis previously cautioned that Donald Trump’s pledge to carry out the largest deportation campaign in US history would be a "calamity." Thousands arrested and detained White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced last week that over 8,000 individuals had been arrested in immigration enforcement operations since Trump's return to office.
