 POPE LEO XIV TO UNDERGO LUNG SURGERY Pope Leo XIV has announced that he will undergo surgery in the coming days to remove a lump on his lung, which was detected at a very early stage. During his weekly Angelus address in St Peter’s Square on Sunday, the 71-year-old pontiff told the crowd that a lung nodule had been discovered during recent medical checks and was highly localised. The statement by the Vatican press office adds that Doctors had recommended an operation to remove it, and that the procedure had already been planned.  It further confirms that his recovery was expected to take about one week. Born in Chicago, Leo became the first American pope in May 2025, following the death of his Argentine predecessor, Pope Francis, on 21 April 2025.

The facility has been the site of frequent confrontations between federal agents and protesters, and fencing that previously surrounded the property had recently been removed.

The clashes follow a judge’s order Thursday requiring federal officers to wear body cameras during immigration operations, responding to concerns over previous confrontations. Despite the ruling, some protesters expressed skepticism that the cameras would hold agents accountable. U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said she was alarmed by reports that officers used tear gas against the public and wants all ICE and Border Patrol agents involved in “Operation Midway Blitz” to have cameras activated during enforcement actions. A Justice Department attorney noted that not all officers are equipped with cameras and cited the ongoing government shutdown as a barrier to compliance. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker praised the ruling, emphasizing the need for accountability. Additional protests are expected this weekend, with local authorities relying on the new body camera requirement and village-imposed crowd restrictions to help maintain order.
