Vice President JD Vance acknowledged Pope Francis’ criticism of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration.

Vice President JD Vance led the audience at the 20th National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in prayer for the ailing Pope Francis, who has criticized the Trump administration over its immigration policy.

Pope Francis said previously that he might retire if facing extreme health issues. The Vatican reported that his condition is complicated but not critical.

Pope Francis, who has been hospitalised for two weeks battling double pneumonia, has spent another peaceful night and is now resting, the Vatican said on Friday. Francis, 88, was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on February 14 with what was originally described as a bronchitis and was later revealed to have developed into something more serious.
