Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, has reiterated President Trump's firm stance on illegal immigration. According to Rubio, the administration is committed to ensuring that America is neither deceived nor exploited regarding this issue.

In a recent incident involving Colombia, President Petro initially approved flights and provided necessary authorizations for the return of Colombian citizens illegally present in the United States. However, he later revoked these permissions while the planes were already airborne.

Rubio emphasized that "it is the responsibility of each nation to take back their citizens who are illegally present in the United States in a serious and expeditious manner." The actions taken demonstrate a resolute commitment to ending illegal immigration and strengthening border security.
