Can Pope Leo Xiv Lose US Citizenship After Becoming Vatican’s American-Born Head Of State?US-Vatican

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City.

His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions.

While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it.

The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well.

The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

The Pope expressed deep sorrow, called for an immediate ceasefire, and urged protection of worship sites. He also warned of Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis.

Trump To BUY U.S ICE Own Plane Fleet To Deport Migrant 'Aliens' From U.S ASAP [Video]

Trump To BUY U.S ICE Own Plane Fleet To Deport Migrant 'Aliens' From U.S ASAP

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for ICE to buy its own aircraft fleet to accelerate mass deportations, a plan that could cost up to $12 billion. The Trump administration vowed to deport one million immigrants annually, with officials arguing that ICE ownership of planes could more than double removals from 15,000 to 35,000 per month. Aviation experts estimate each aircraft costs $80–400 million. Alongside, Trump ordered the southern border wall painted black to deter illegal crossings. #KristiNoem #ICE #Deportations #Trump #ImmigrationPolicy #MassDeportations #USPolitics #BorderWall #ImmigrationCrisis #ICEPlanes #TrumpAdministration #ImmigrationDebate #SouthernBorder #BreakingNews #AviationCosts #USImmigration #TrumpPlan #ICEAirFleet #BorderSecurity #DeportationPolicy #TrumpWall #ImmigrationReform #BlackBorderWall #ICEExpansion #USMexicoBorder #HomelandSecurity #Trump2025 #ImmigrantRights #NoemPush #USImmigrationNews Also Read ICE Allegedly Violated Rights of US Citizen and 21 Others During Arrests in Chicago :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ice-violated-rights-us-citizen-chicago-activists-allege-011-4097557.html?ref=DMDesc NASA's new water-scouting CubeSat is all set to find ice on the Moon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/nasas-new-water-scouting-cubesat-is-all-set-to-find-ice-on-the-moon-3445560.html?ref=DMDesc Tropical fruit flavours ice cream for summer indulgence from Ibaco :: https://www.oneindia.com/partner-content/new-ice-cream-flavours-from-ibaco-for-the-summer-3398222.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.96~GR.122~

Trump Nominates Tammy Bruce To UN Post In Bold ‘America First’ Move Amid Foreign Policy Battles

President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson and longtime Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce, a fierce defender of Trump’s “America First” policies, has served as State Department spokesperson since his inauguration in January. Known for defending the administration’s tough stances on immigration, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Israel’s Gaza offensive, Bruce is expected to bring combative rhetoric to the UN stage. Her appointment will require Senate confirmation, where Republicans hold a majority. Trump praised her “fantastic job” at State, while Bruce called the role an honor and vowed to continue advancing U.S. priorities abroad. She will serve under Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, whose confirmation is pending. The move signals Trump’s push for loyalist voices in high-profile diplomatic posts at a time of intense geopolitical tensions. #Trump #TammyBruce #UnitedNations #USPolitics #AmericaFirst #FoxNews #ForeignPolicy #SenateConfirmation #MikeWaltz #GazaWar #UkraineWar #Russia #Israel #ImmigrationPolicy #UNDiplomacy #WhiteHouse #PoliticalAppointments #USNews #GlobalPolitics #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.346~

Trump's DEADLINE to Putin a BLUFF? Deadline Expires with No End to Ukraine War, Trump's Aides SILENT

Trump’s much-hyped deadline to Vladimir Putin for ending the Ukraine war has come and gone with no ceasefire in sight. As the ultimatum expires, Trump’s aides remain silent and the State Department refuses to speculate on next steps. With Washington offering no clear plan and Moscow unmoved, questions mount over whether the deadline was ever real—or just a bluff. #TrumpsDeadlineForPutin #TrumpDeadlineRussia #PutinTrump #TrumpPutin #TrumpPutinNews #TrumpPutinMeeting #TrumpAndPutin #TrumpPutin2025 #PutinTrump2025 #TrumpPutinTalks #TrumpPutinSummit #TrumpMeetingWithPutin #TrumpPutinMeeting2025 #TrumpWillMeetPutin #TrumpPutinStandoff #IsTrumpMeetingWithPutin ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.124~
