DID POPE LEO XIV APPOINT A BISHOP TO STIR UP PROTEST AGAINST ICE DEPORTATIONS?
No.
So why is this story going around social media?
It is mostly thanks to the video below, from an 'Old Catholic' priest, who is married to another man, meaning someone who hasn't anything to do with Pope Leo XIV or the Roman Catholic Church in the first place
The priest in the video implies that Pope Leo XIV's appointment of Bishop Michael Pham was a political message and then he says than Pham is 'mobilising his priests to accompany migrants to their trials and having them go to court with them and to help them through the process' before adding 'and to hopefully deter ICE from arresting them when they are showing up their hearings'
Two things to note
1) Michael Pham got the call that he was being appointed as Bishop of San Diego on May 14th, 6 days after Leo XIV was elected. Pham believed that Bishop McElroy, the former Bishop of San Diego, had a role in recommending him. Pham was already the Auxiliary Bishop for the previous two years. It must also be added, that he himself was a refugee, having fled Vietnam on a boat that was being chased by Communist authorities. This was not, as some on social media claim, a reaction to ICE protests.
2) In Pham's letter he states that he is asking priests to accompany migrants to court. Priests accompany every type of person you can think of to court cases, this is not unusual. There were priests accompanying those on trial at Nuremberg in 1946, if you want a dramatic example.
The bishop's letter is below, you can read his comment that it probably won't change the outcome, despite what the priest here says.
Last week, the mainstream media decided that Pope Leo XIV was calling for open borders and people on the right allowed their thinking to be framed by such mainstream media. The mainstream media says jump and they say how high.
Now, the same again with what is a fairly innocuous and routine pastoral duty from a Bishop appointment that had nothing to do with ICE or related protests.

We contemplate how, the third day after His death, Jesus Christ rose again triumphant and glorious, to die no more. Let us consider the glory of our Redeemer when He arose from the sepulchre, after having vanquished Satan, and delivered the human race from bondage. How great is the folly of the sinner who, having been once delivered from the tyranny of the devil, consents to become again his slave for some wretched gain or some miserable pleasure of this world! Let us pray to the Blessed Virgin to unite us by love so closely to Jesus Christ that we may never again by mortal sin become the slaves of Lucifer.

Matthew 7:2 "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Brothers there are a great many things which seek to trap and destroy a man's soul. But there is one which is most dangerous and that is pride. Pride will blind a man's spiritual eyes and lead him to his eternal destruction all the while saying "I am being righteous, or I am being just" we are called to cry aloud all the day and all the night woe lord have mercy on me a sinner. When we look to our Lord Jesus the source of perfection and the new Adam we see that when he talks with the traitors of his nation (publicans) he does not revile them, when he speaks with the prostitutes he does not revile them, when he speaks with the thieves on the cross not even them does he revile. Why then brothers do we hate our fellow man all the day long? With what will we see Christ if we live our whole life blinded by sin? With what will Christ see us if we refuse to see him in everyone? God bless
