President Trump has emphasized that his administration will not tolerate deception or exploitation regarding immigration. Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, issued a statement underscoring this position and highlighting the responsibility of countries to reclaim their citizens who are illegally in the United States.
Rubio specifically mentioned an incident involving Colombian President Petro. According to Rubio, President Petro initially authorized flights for returning Colombian nationals and provided necessary clearances but later revoked these authorizations when the planes were already en route.
The statement reaffirms the administration's dedication to halting illegal immigration and enhancing border security. "As demonstrated by today’s actions," Rubio stated, "we are unwavering in our commitment to end illegal immigration and bolster America’s border security."
