Pope Leo XIV has met with members of his Augustinian religious order during a visit to the congregation’s headquarters outside St. Peter’s Square.

A Newsmax reporter had asked the question of Pope Leo at the pontiff's audience with journalists in the Vatican on Monday. Leo is the first-ever pope born in the U.S. His comments on social media around immigration in particular have caught attention, and raise the possibility future clashes with the Trump Administration.

Pope Leo XIV held his first public audience with members of the media, saying the church stood in solidarity with them for "seeking the truth."
