Thank you @MarcoRubio for leading with moral clarity.”
Shortly after, also on July 11, 2025, Salazar reiterated her position in Spanish: “Ya era hora de que tuviéramos un líder en el @StateDept que entienda: tolerancia cero con los tiranos. Bloquear sus visas. Sancionar a sus cómplices. No vamos a parar hasta que el pueblo cubano sea finalmente libre.
Gracias @MarcoRubio por liderar con claridad moral.”
On July 13, 2025, Salazar announced her upcoming legislative initiative to address immigration reform: ” Just 2 days away… I’m introducing the #DIGNITYACT a real solution to finally fix our broken immigration system. Stay tuned. “
