NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, revealed that he would «welcome» a discussion with Pope Leo XIV amid the administration’s ongoing spat with the Vatican over disagreements on immigration policy and the Iran conflict.
Differing from Vice President JD Vance, who said that «in some cases it would be best for the Vatican to stick to matters of morality,» Homan said he is «open to discussion with any of them.»
Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Homan, a «lifelong Catholic,» said, «I wish they’d stay out of immigration, they don’t know what they’re talking about.»
However, Homan asserted that the pope’s opinion would change if he understood that «illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.»

«If they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got raped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change,» he said.
Trump’s border czar went on to say that despite intense criticism over the president’s immigration policy, «He’s saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border.»
«Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved,» he emphasized.
In light of this, Homan said, «I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don’t understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.»
«Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they’d understand that,» he lamented. «Because if they did, I think they’d have a different opinion.»
Fox News Digital reached out to the Holy See for comment.

Leo has said that «no one has said that the United States should have open borders» and stressed, «I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter.» However, he has also taken a critical tone of the administration’s interior immigration enforcement tactics.
«When people are living good lives, and many of them for 10, 15, 20 years, to treat them in a way that is extremely disrespectful, to say the least, and there’s been some violence, unfortunately, I think that the bishops have been very clear in what they said. I think that I would just invite all people in the United States to listen to them,» the pope has said.
Trump criticized the pope’s positions on Sunday in a scathing rebuke on Truth Social.
«Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,» Trump began in a lengthy post.
«Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church,» he concluded.
Regarding the Iran conflict, Trump told reporters, «We don’t like a pope that’s going to say that it’s OK to have a nuclear weapon.»
«We don’t want a pope that says crime is OK in our cities. I don’t like it,» Trump added. «I’m not a big fan of Pope Leo. He’s a very liberal person, and he’s a man that doesn’t believe in stopping crime.»

In response, Leo told reporters on Monday, «I have no fear of the Trump administration.»
«The things that I say are certainly not meant as attacks on anyone,» he also said, adding, «I don’t think that the message of the Gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing. I will continue to speak out loudly against war, looking to promote peace, promoting dialogue and multilateral relationships among the states to look for just solutions to problems.»
«Too many people are suffering in the world today,» Leo added. «Too many innocent people are being killed. And I think someone has to stand up and say there’s a better way.»

For his part, Vance, who has been very vocal about his conversion to Catholicism, told Fox News’s Bret Baier Monday, «I certainly think that in some cases, it would be best for the Vatican to stick to matters of morality… and let the president of the United States stick to dictating American public policy.»
Vance, who has visited the Vatican twice as vice president, dismissed the feud, saying, «We certainly have a good relationship with the Vatican, but we’re also [going to] disagree on substantive questions from time to time. I think that’s a totally reasonable thing.»

Pakistán anunció que Estados Unidos e Irán firmaron el acuerdo que pone fin a la Guerra en Medio Oriente

Estados Unidos e Irán firmaron el acuerdo que pone fin a la guerra en Medio Oriente, iniciada el 28 de febrero por el país norteamericano e Israel, uno de los conflictos más tensos de los últimos años en la región. Así lo anunció el primer ministro de Pakistán con un posteo en X.
“Tras intensas conversaciones, nos complace anunciar que el Acuerdo de Paz entre los Estados Unidos de América y la República Islámica de Irán ha sido ALCANZADO. Ambas partes han declarado la terminación inmediata y permanente de las operaciones militares en todos los frentes, incluido Líbano”, escribió el mandatario Shehbaz Sharif.
Después del anuncio, el precio del petróleo abrió con una caída del 5% en Estados Unidos.
En tanto, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, anunció que alcanzó un acuerdo con Irán para reabrir el estrecho de Ormuz tras más de tres meses de conflicto. Según afirmó, el paso marítimo se reabrirá tras la firma del acuerdo con Irán el viernes.
Desde Teherán, el viceministro de asuntos exteriores de Irán, Kazem Gharibabadi, declaró en la noche del domingo que al acuerdo con Estados Unidos pone “fin inmediatamente a la guerra”.
“En primer lugar, el fin inmediato y definitivo de la guerra y de las operaciones militares en los diferentes frentes, incluido el Líbano”, enumeró el diplomático, especialista en cuestiones jurídicas, en la televisión estatal.
El canciller iraní dijo que “el enemigo, que atacó para llevar a cabo sus designios malintencionados, ha visto todos sus objetivos reducidos a la nada, y la República Islámica de Irán ha logrado grandes victorias en esta guerra”, declaró a la televisión estatal iraní.
Irán dijo además que en un plazo de 60 días se iniciarán conversaciones para un “acuerdo final”.
Además, la agencia de noticias iraní Mers dijo que el memorando de entendimiento contempla el desembolso inmediato de 12.000 millones de dólares en activos congelados.
El documento prevé “el desbloqueo de 24.000 millones de dólares de activos iraníes congelados durante el período de negociación de 60 días” que se abre tras la conclusión del memorando de entendimiento, según Mehr. “La mitad de esta suma debe ponerse a disposición de Irán antes del inicio de las negociaciones”, precisó.
Qué dijo Donald Trump
En una publicación en su red social Truth Social, Trump explicó que, a cambio de la reapertura del estrecho, Estados Unidos levantará el bloqueo marítimo impuesto a la entrada y salida de buques en puertos iraníes.
“El acuerdo con la República Islámica de Irán ya está completo. ¡Felicitaciones a todos! Por la presente, autorizo plenamente la apertura sin peaje del estrecho de Ormuz y, simultáneamente, autorizo el levantamiento inmediato del bloqueo naval de Estados Unidos. ¡Buques del mundo, arranquen sus motores! ¡Que fluya el petróleo!“, escribió Trump, sin ofrecer más detalles del acuerdo.

Por el estratégico estrecho de Ormuz, por el que circula el 20% del petróleo mundial.
La tregua del 8 de abril había terminado con la mayoría de ataques directos entre Irán y Estados Unidos, aunque en los últimos días hubo una ofensiva cruzada entre ambos países.

Poco antes, en un mensaje en su red Truth Social, dijo que la relación con Teherán es “muy diferente y mejor que la que tuvieron las administraciones anteriores”, con duras críticas a uno de sus antecesores, el demócrata, Barack Obama: “A diferencia de los cientos de miles de millones de dólares que Obama les pagó, incluyendo 1700 millones de dólares en efectivo, aquí no habrá intercambio de dinero».
El presidente de Estados Unidos dijo además que intervendrán sobre las reservas de uranio enriquecido iraníes: “En el momento oportuno, cuando todo esté en calma, entraremos y recuperaremos el polvo nuclear, enterrado en las profundidades de las imponentes montañas de granito sumergidas, gracias a nuestros magníficos bombarderos B-2 y sus brillantes pilotos, y lo desintegraremos y destruiremos, ya sea en Irán o en Estados Unidos».
Trump planteó: “Esperamos colaborar con Irán y con todo Oriente Medio durante muchos años. Ojalá este proceso se desarrolle de forma rápida, sencilla y sin contratiempos. Si no es así, tenemos la alternativa definitiva, ¡que esperamos no tener que volver a usar jamás!“.

Party Poopers’ Fight Card: Jane Fonda, ‘No Kings,’ communists roll out rival spectacle to Trump’s 250th

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As President Donald Trump prepares to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary today with a UFC event at the White House, a national network of angry activists has assembled its own fight card: a celebrity concert headlined by Jane Fonda, hundreds of «watch parties,» local organizing events including a «RAGE AGAINST THE CAGE!» protest and a coordinated operation aimed at fighting Trump «through the midterm elections and beyond.»
About 400 organizations in the «No Kings» coalition with combined annual revenues of about $3 billion have organized Sunday’s nationwide protest operation. Internal planning documents obtained by Fox News Digital show organizers’ plan to using the concerts, watch parties and local gatherings to build momentum for a political organizing network.

At 4 p.m., in one of day’s many planned sideshows, «Refuse Fascism,» a pro-communism group, plans its «RAGE AGAINST THE CAGE!» protest at McPherson Square near the White House. UFC fighter Sean Strickland released a video on social media, saying he had booked a ticket to protest at the White House for allegedly being cut from the main event for criticizing the state of Israel and the war in Iran. «Ill bring a bullhorn,» he wrote in his social media post.
Meanwhile, the Women’s March, a multi-millon-dollar nonprofit enterprise, has rented portable toilets that its staffers are setting up from noon to 6 p.m. at Farragut Square, blocks from the White House, for a protest dubbed «Dump on Trump.»

A 16-page «No Kings Event Host Toolkit» describes June 14 as an opportunity to convert mass demonstrations into local political infrastructure. Organizers frame the event as a counter to Trump’s hosting of the White House UFC event, saying «we will be doing the real work of democracy.» The materials describe watch parties as «strategic community gatherings designed to build deep local connections and lay the grassroots infrastructure we need to defend our rights through the midterm elections and beyond.»
Indivisible, a Democratic nonprofit funded by mega-donor George Soros, handed the headline role to the 88-year-old Fonda’s «Committee for the First Amendment,» which is hosting the day’s premiere counter-event in New York City at a 90-minute concert, «Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment,» starting at 7:30 pm. at a theater called «The Town Hall» on 43rd Street. This weekend, tickets in the orchestra section sold for $330.15.

JANE FONDA SLAMMED DEMOCRATIC LEADERS AS ‘NOT GOOD ENOUGH’ IN FIGHT AGAINST TRUMP
The «Committee for the First Amendment» describes itself as «a large collective of artists, storytellers, and cultural leaders» launched in October 2025 with about 500 leading figures from the entertainment industry. They invoked the name of a group established in 1947 by Hollywood celebrities, including Lauren Bacall, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball and Groucho Marx, to challenge Sen. Joe McCarthy’s investigations into the spread of communism in the U.S. and Hollywood. Later, some members of the original «Committee for the First Amendment» were identified as communist, and original members of the group wrote that they were duped into joining the effort. Ronald Reagan, then an actor, reportedly called committee member «suckers.»
Actor Humphrey Bogart even published a politically frank column, headlined, «I’m No Communist,» urging fellow celebrities not to be «used as dupes by Commie organizations.»
Fast forward to today, and the anti-Trump concert will feature left-wing activists including Fonda, whose controversial 1972 trip to communist North Vietnam earned her the nickname «Hanoi Jane» and sparked backlash from critics who accused her of aligning with the North Vietnamese communist regime during the Vietnam War. She’s scheduled to be joined in New York City by 1970s «godmother of punk» Patti Smith, actress Bette Midler, singer Rufus Wainwright, singer Sasha Allen, former MSNBC host Joy Reid and actor Wilson Cruz.

JANE FONDA WARNS AMERICA FACES ‘EXISTENTIAL’ CRISIS AS SHE URGES TURNOUT AT ‘NO KINGS’ PROTESTS
Organizers describe the event as «an uplifting evening of song, solidarity, and action» celebrating freedoms of «speech, religion, press, assembly, and protest.»
But the internal planning documents reviewed by Fox News Digital show the concert is the public-facing component of a much broader anti-Trump organizing effort designed to be a funneling agent for «the midterm elections and beyond.»
The day’s messaging guidance casts the June 14 showdown as an alternative political narrative of «people power.»
«The lead-up to America’s 250th is a test of who we are,» the guidance goes. «President Trump is choosing self-promotion. We’re choosing community, participation and people power.»
Organizers repeatedly frame the effort as direct counterprogramming to Trump’s event. One suggested message prepared for supporters states: «On June 14, President Trump hosts a UFC cage fight at the White House. The main event will be in our living rooms.»
The «No Kings» coalition’s internal materials outline an extensive organizing apparatus. Host toolkits instruct local organizers to recruit co-hosts, appoint «greeters» and safety leads, collect attendee contact information, identify future organizers and schedule follow-up organizing meetings after the concert.
One host guide tells organizers their goal is to «bring people in and move them to ongoing participation.» Another instructs hosts to determine «who might help you with organizing moving forward.» Before attendees leave, organizers are directed to create «a clearly defined plan» and schedule another organizing meeting within two weeks.
Taken together, the documents show an effort focused not merely on a single day of protest but on building durable activist networks after June 14.
The coalition’s messaging guidance makes that objective explicit. One recommended talking point states: «He wants attention. We’re building a movement.»
At the same time, organizers stress legal compliance and message discipline.
The protests include a «reimbursement» program, and the material explicitly states that it’s administered through Indivisible Civics, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In a departure from the clearly partisan nature of «No Kings» protests that have as an underlying theme that Trump is «a king,» the guidance for today states that events «cannot include lobbying or partisan political activity.»
The reimbursement material reveals for the first time that participating groups may receive up to $500 in reimbursements for watch parties connected to the event.

The guidance further states that event’s can’t be «co-hosted with any political party or partisan organization» or «feature candidates running for elected office.» The document also specifies that the program «cannot reimburse expenses from political rallies or protests (e.g. ‘No Kings’) or events hosted to prep for those activities.»
The politics has been very thinly veiled. At the last «No Kings» protest in St. Paul, Minn., just like with earlier rallies, organizers, including Fonda, openly embraced Democratic politicians like Rep. Ilhan Omar, without any Republican lawmakers around.
Organizers emphasized strict commitment to a «NONVIOLENCE CLAUSE.» One host guide warns: «DO NOT DELETE THE NONVIOLENCE CLAUSE. Your event will not be approved without this language.»
Beyond the celebrity headliners, the campaign’s leadership network overlaps with activists and organizations that have been the subject of congressional inquiries for their alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Documents released by the House Ways and Means Committee show that attorney Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, executive director of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit, represents the People’s Forum, a nonprofit that has received millions of dollars Neville Roy Singham, an American businessman and self-described Marxist who lives in Shanghai, supporting the Chinese Communist Party. According to her official biography, Verheyden-Hilliard also serves on the steering committee of Fonda’s «Committee for the First Amendment.» Verheyden-Hilliard hasn’t respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
The operation is also supported by a professional communications infrastructure. Press inquiries for «Rise Up, Sing Out» are directed to Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis, a prominent New York-based public-relations firm known as «SSM&L.» The organization created many of the planning documents for the New York City headline event, its name on the metadata of several documents. The PR company didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Apenas minutos después, el presidente Donald Trump anunció que el acuerdo negociado con Irán “ya está completo” y ordenó la reapertura inmediata del estrecho de Ormuz y el levantamiento del bloqueo naval estadounidense que permanecía vigente en la región.
En las próximas horas el presidente norteamericano viajará a Francia para participar del G7, en Evián, por lo que hay expectativa por su posible presencia el viernes en Suiza para ser él quien firme acuerdo.

Con la apertura del estrecho tras la firma del acuerdo el viernes, con el fin de retirar las minas, ¡el petróleo volverá a fluir por ambos extremos para la región y para el mundo!“.
