Pope Leo calls for deep reflection' about treatment of detained migrants in US
"How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening. The pontiff said the spiritual rights of people who have been detained should also be considered, and he called on authorities to allow pastoral workers access to the detained migrants. Many times they've been separated from their families. No one knows what's happening, but their own spiritual needs should be attended to,'' Leo said."
"Asked about the lethal attacks on suspected drug traffickers off Venezuela, Leo said the military action was increasing tension'' and noted that they were coming even closer to the coastline. The thing is to seek dialogue,'' the pope said. On the Middle East, Leo acknowledged that the first phase of the peace accord between Israel and Hamas remained very fragile'' and said that the parties needed to find a way forward on future governance and how you can guarantee the rights of all peoples."
Calls for deep reflection in the US about treatment of detained migrants emphasize that many long-resident, non-problematic individuals have been profoundly affected by current detention conditions. Spiritual rights and pastoral access for detained migrants should be ensured, addressing frequent separation from families and unmet spiritual needs. Labour union leaders from Chicago were urged to advocate for immigrants and welcome minorities. Military actions against suspected drug traffickers off Venezuela risk increasing tensions and moving closer to coastlines, prompting a need for dialogue. The Israel–Hamas peace accord remains fragile, requiring governance solutions to guarantee the rights of all peoples, while West Bank settlement issues remain complex.
