Amid Trump's racist remark, Pope Leo says migrants must be treated with dignity, not ‘worse than house pets, animals’

Pope Leo XIV urged the United States and Iran to restart negotiations to end the conflict. He emphasized that countries have the right to protect their borders but migrants should be treated with dignity. Pope Leo also called for a "culture of peace" to replace violence in conflicts, stating that promoting values should not result in the deaths of innocents. He believes migrants are human beings deserving respect and dignity.
