Later that afternoon at 16:33 UTC, she highlighted bipartisan support for pending immigration legislation: “The Dignity Act of 2025 is gaining serious momentum.

At 18:42 UTC the same day, Salazar commented on domestic job growth and American manufacturing initiatives: “American jobs are coming back, and they’re here to stay. Thanks to this administration, more products will proudly say: Made in the USA.”
