Pope Leo calls out 'extremely disrespectful' treatment of migrants in the U.S.

Pope Leo XIV said he is troubled by the violent and at times "extremely disrespectful" ways migrants have been treated in the United States.

The Pope made his remarks while answering questions from journalists at Castel Gandolfo, the papal vacation residence outside Rome.

"We have to look for ways of treating people humanely, treating people with the dignity that they have. If people are in the United States illegally, there are ways to treat that. There are courts. There's a system of justice," the Pope said.

"No one has said that the United States should have open borders," the Pope continued. "I think every country has the right to determine who enters, how, and when."
