VP VANCE SAYS 2M REMOVALS, DEFENDS MASS DEPORTATIONS DESPITE CATHOLIC BISHOPS' REBUKES

In a New York Post interview, Vice President JD Vance defended the administration’s deportation push while stressing respect for migrants’ dignity, saying removals have reached about 2 million when combining deportations and “self-deportations.” He framed strict enforcement as compatible with Catholic teaching amid recent public rebukes from Catholic leaders. Vance also credited current policies with driving crossings to record lows and criticized the prior administration’s approach.
