Just this year, the pope shared on social media a letter from the late Pope Francis condemning mass deportations. He also amplified criticism of Vice President JD Vance, who claimed that the far left “cares more about immigrants than their own citizens.”
Pope Leo seemed to reject that logic entirely, sharing comments challenging the idea that some lives deserve more care than others.
What does he think about immigration? The most recent activity on Pope Leo XIV’s verified X account was in mid-April, when he shared a post by a Catholic commentator criticizing Donald Trump and El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele for joking about the deportation of Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
John Prevost, Pope Leo’s older brother and a retired Catholic school principal, recently provided a rare and personal glimpse into the life of the man who now leads 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide.
“I know he’s not happy with what’s going on with immigration. I know that for sure. How far he’ll go is anyone’s guess, but he’s not going to sit idly by. I don’t think he’s the silent type.”
Not Left, Not Right — But Very Loud
Despite his clear criticism of Trump’s policies, Pope Leo isn’t blindly aligned with the political left either. He has even expressed concern that the Democrats’ message on issues like abortion could alienate the working class.
Those close to him say he favors a balanced approach rooted in compassion, dignity, and practical justice.
