Pope Francis condemns Trump’s deportations and the White House responds that the Vatican also has a wall

This time, the conflict centers around immigration. On Tuesday, Pope Francis published an unusual letter addressed to U.S. bishops, written “in these delicate moments,” in which he focuses entirely on this issue.
