After Canticle of Peace, Pope Leo XIV gave brief interviews to NBC and Telemundo. Asked what he would say to migrants in the United States, he said: have hope, and seek ways to live in an orderly manner.
He also said he recognizes that some people have suffered because of offenses and crimes, and that societies must learn to live in peace with courage and hope, according to Vatican News.
In November 2025 he had called for deep reflection in the U.S. about the treatment of detained migrants.
The remarks sit inside a contested U.S. immigration debate. This page reports what he said and does not take a side.
