(UPDATE) VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis described Donald Trump's migrant deportations as a 'major crisis' on Tuesday, prompting a rebuke from the United States president's border czar, who told the pontiff to 'stick to the Catholic Church.'
In a letter to US bishops, Francis, 88, said deporting people who had fled their own countries in distress 'damages the dignity' of the migrants and could leave many vulnerable and defenseless.
