Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Florida's 27th district, shared her views on recent developments in international relations and national security through a series of tweets on March 26, 2025.

In her first tweet at 14:31 UTC, Rep. Salazar expressed support for Kristi Noem's decision to prioritize Latin America for her inaugural international trip as the Secretary of Homeland Security. She stated, "I applaud Kristi Noem for choosing Latin America as her first international trip as DHS Secretary! Across the Western Hemisphere, leaders like @NayibBukele are working hand-in-hand with the United States to stop illegal immigration and the flow of drugs and weapons."

Later that day at 16:18 UTC, she reiterated this sentiment in Spanish, highlighting collaboration between leaders such as Nayib Bukele and the United States to address issues related to illegal immigration and drug trafficking. She tweeted, "¡Aplaudo a Kristi Noem por elegir América Latina para su primer viaje como Secretaria de Seguridad Nacional! Líderes como @NayibBukele colaboran con EE. UU. para frenar la inmigración ilegal y el tráfico de drogas y armas."

In another tweet posted at 17:26 UTC, Rep. Salazar commented on national security matters by defending individuals named Hegseth and Waltz for their roles in counter-terrorism operations. She wrote, "There is no controversy. Hegseth and Waltz are patriots who conducted a successful operation against terrorists, and put fear in our enemies. After four years of weakness, we will have peace through strength."
