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

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.

‘Kiev Resumes…’ Putin SHOCKS Pope With Ukraine War Updates | Putin Describes Call As ‘Constructive’

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and “constructive” phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children. Putin urged the Pope to support religious freedom in Ukraine and thanked the Holy See for its role in mediating humanitarian issues. #Putin #PopeLeoXIV #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Vatican #Kremlin #Sabotage #Bryansk #Kursk #OrthodoxChurch #UkraineCrisis #HolySee #VaticanMediation #PopeCall #PutinPopeCall #ChildReunification #ReligiousFreedom #CivilianTargets #RussiaDiplomacy #UkraineWarEscalation Also Read 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Russian President Vladimir Putin Calls PM Modi To Condemn Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-president-vladimir-putin-calls-pm-modi-to-condemn-pahalgam-terror-attack-4143787.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~GR.124~

US Breaking: ICE Agent Pulls Out Rifle on SF Protesters Outside  Courthouse | Woman Thrown from SUV [Video]

US Breaking: ICE Agent Pulls Out Rifle on SF Protesters Outside Courthouse | Woman Thrown from SUV

Chaos erupted on the streets of San Francisco on Tuesday as federal immigration agents clashed violently with protesters outside a city courthouse. The confrontation, now being called the most violent of its kind in the city this year, saw Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents using aggressive tactics against a group of approximately 20 demonstrators. The tense situation began around 11:18 a.m. when ICE agents attempted toescort a detained man from the courthouse. Protesters quickly formed a human chain, using their bodies and bicycles to block the exit while shouting anti-ICE slogans. In response, several agents, with their faces covered, were seen deploying pepper spray, pushing protesters to the ground with batons, and yelling expletives. The situation escalated dramatically when one agent brandished a rifle to intimidate the crowd. The most shocking moment occurred when a black SUV, reportedly waiting for the agents, sped through the crowd of protesters. Witnesses reported that a woman was thrown from the hood of the moving vehicle, which then almost ran her over a block away. This incident has sparked outrage and raises serious questions about the use of force by federal agents during public demonstrations in the United States. #SanFrancisco #ICE #USNews #Protest #BreakingNews #LatestNews #ViralVideo #OneindiaNews #Immigration #WorldNews 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 Zakir Hussain Faces Critical Health Challenges in San Francisco ICU Due to Heart Issues :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/zakir-hussain-heart-problems-san-francisco-011-4016713.html?ref=DMDesc Zakir Hussain Admitted to ICU in San Francisco Due to Heart Problems :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/zakir-hussain-heart-problems-san-francisco-011-4016689.html?ref=DMDesc

A shocking moment was captured on camera in downtown Chicago as a car drove through a crowd of anti-ICE protesters late Tuesday night. The demonstration, part of a growing nationwide movement against recent ICE raids, escalated when a woman behind the wheel pushed through a crowd near Wabash and Monroe. A police officer attempted to intervene, striking the car's window, but the vehicle did not stop. Authorities have not confirmed any injuries, and no arrests have been made so far. #ChicagoProtest #AntiICE #ICEProtests #TrumpImmigration #ImmigrantRights #ICECrackdown #ChicagoUnrest #USProtests #ICEDeportation #AntiICERiots #LAPDProtests #NoDeportations #LAProtest #StopTheRaids #MigrantJustice

In a dramatic escalation, U.S President Donald Trump has deployed 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles—over the strong objections of Governor Gavin Newsom. The move follows two days of increasingly violent protests in the heavily Latino city of Paramount, where immigration raids have sparked clashes with Border Patrol agents in riot gear.

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now!

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vessels—including the Magic Seas—and signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes. With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond. #HouthiAttack #RedSeaCrisis #EternityC #USNavy #IranProxyWar #MiddleEastConflict #MaritimeSecurity #CargoShipAttack #BreakingNews #YemenWar #HouthiHostages #MissileStrike #DroneAttack #NavalWarfare #USVsHouthis #GlobalShippingCrisis
