The new Pope may be American, but according to his social media posts, he is no fan of Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected as the first American Pope on Thursday, becoming the religious leader of the world’s 1.41 billion Catholics.

The former missionary, who will be known as Pope Leo XIV, has repeatedly criticized the Trump administration’s immigration stance.

His last retweet, on April 14, slams the Trump administration’s deportation of undocumented migrant and Maryland father-of-three Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 30, to El Salvador.

The post reads: ‘Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?’

Pope Leo XIV, 69, also shared several articles that address Catholic JD Vance’s stance on immigration. One of them is titled: ‘JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.’

In 2017, Pope Leo reposted a message in support of DACA recipients – those undocumented migrants brought to the US by their parents when they were children.

Pope Leo also shared a post in 2018 that read: ‘There is nothing remotely Christian, American, or morally defensible about a policy that takes children away from their parents and warehouses them in cages. This is being carried out in our name and the shame is on us all.’

He also shared several message directly opposing Trump’s immigration orders – including a 2018 letter from Peru’s Catholic leaders thanking the Trump administration for ‘stopping the separation of migrant children from their parents.’
