Pope Francis' papacy has been marked by a strong advocacy for migrants, beginning with his first official trip to Lampedusa in 2013, where he condemned the 'globalisation of indifference.' He emphasizes the moral duty to rescue migrants, particularly in the Mediterranean, and criticizes policies that endanger them. He calls for humane treatment, legal pathways for refugees, and denounces the inhumane conditions in detention facilities. His stance has often put him at odds with political figures like Donald Trump, particularly regarding immigration policies.
