Pope visiting ‘dock of shame’ in Canary Islands where migrants slept in squalor
Pope Leo XIV is visiting the Canary Islands to highlight the plight of migrants and commemorate those who died at the 'dock of shame,' a site where migrants endured squalid conditions in 2020. The Spanish government, which faced criticism for the 2020 crisis, has since advocated for immigration reform and launched a legalization initiative for unauthorized immigrants.
