Following the death of Pope Francis, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that “evil is being defeated by the hand of God,” prompting the Catholic League to call for her censure. Greene defended her statement, claiming it referred to corrupt church leadership, not the Catholic Church as a whole, citing her past disillusionment with the Church due to concerns about child sexual abuse. She demanded an apology from the Catholic League for its letter to the House Ethics Committee.

President Trump is exploring the legality of deporting violent, repeat-offending American citizens to Central American prisons, a proposition raising significant legal and ethical concerns. This consideration follows a meeting with Salvadoran President Bukele and echoes previous deportations, some without due process or evidence of gang affiliation.
