Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 27th district since 2021, has recently shared her views on significant issues via social media. Known for her active engagement in political discourse, Salazar addressed topics ranging from international criminal networks to regional democratic processes.

On March 21, 2025, Rep. Salazar expressed support for the designation of Tren de Aragua as terrorists under the Trump administration. She stated that this classification allows for targeted actions against the group based on membership and facilitates dismantling their criminal network established over four years. "As designated TERRORISTS (thanks to President Trump!), Tren de Aragua can now be targeted based on membership, allowing us to finally dismantle the criminal network they’ve built over the last four years!"

In a subsequent tweet posted shortly after, Salazar reiterated her stance in Spanish, emphasizing the potential impact of targeting Tren de Aragua following their terrorist designation by President Trump. "Como TERRORISTAS designados –¡gracias al presidente Trump!–, el Tren de Aragua ahora puede ser atacado, lo que nos permite desmantelar la red criminal que han construido durante los últimos cuatro años."

Later that day, Salazar commented on political events in Honduras involving General Roosvelt Hernández and his actions towards the CNE (National Electoral Council). She described these actions as cowardly and concerning due to their violent nature and potential to undermine Honduran democracy significantly. " Son MUY preocupantes las acciones cobardes tomadas por el General Roosvelt Hernández en Honduras frente al CNE. Son actos de violencia e intimidación que deslegitiman gravemente la democracia hondureña."
