Unidentified staff member credits deportations to El Salvador, diplomacy and DHS for U.S. safety
Summary
An unidentified staff member said recent deportations of people convicted of crimes to El Salvador, diplomatic outreach credited to Sen. Marco Rubio and cooperation from President Nayib Bukele and the Department of Homeland Security have made "America...safer," according to remarks recorded in a brief public statement.
An unidentified staff member said recent deportations of noncitizens convicted of crimes to El Salvador and diplomatic outreach contributed to U.S. safety.
“The big takeaway this week is America is indeed safer,” the staff member said. “And we've seen that, of course, with the deportation of criminal illegal aliens, in this case, to El Salvador, courtesy of our great friend president Bukele.”
The speaker credited diplomatic efforts by Marco Rubio and cooperation across South and Central American governments, saying those conversations helped persuade governments to accept repatriation: “What Marco Rubio was able to do with our friends in South And Central America, convincing people on the merits of our argument about national security and sovereignty and the importance of nations taking back repatriating their own citizens who have been in America illegally and have been committing crimes against the American people.”
The staff member also named the Department of Homeland Security as part of the effort: “So it is diplomacy. It is also about the Department of Homeland Security.”
The remarks closed by linking the actions to the administration's stated priorities: “It is about President Trump's vision as we move forward to make America safe, secure, and prosperous as we make America great again. That's the big takeaway this week.” No formal action, vote or new policy was recorded in the provided remarks.
