Rep. María Elvira Salazar, U.S. Representative for Florida’s 27th congressional district, recently shared updates on her official Twitter account regarding meetings with West Point cadets, the opening of a new Bay of Pigs Library and Museum, and support for actions against cartel criminals.
On April 18, 2026, Salazar described her visit to West Point in a post stating: “An incredible morning today meeting with West Point cadets to discuss leadership.
West Point embodies the best of America. These extraordinary students decided as teenagers to devote themselves to America’s liberty and become the frontline of freedom.
One of the greatest https://t.co/ZBKURtvcXc“.
Later that day, she announced the inauguration of a new historical site dedicated to Cuban exiles: “Today we opened the brand new Bay of Pigs Library and Museum.
We gathered to remember the bravery of Brigade 2506 who 65 years ago risked everything, and to enshrine their courage, their sacrifice, and their unfinished fight for a free Cuba.
This new building is much more than https://t.co/Sdzt9TvuWV“. The Bay of Pigs invasion was an unsuccessful attempt by Cuban exiles supported by the U.S. government in April 1961 to overthrow Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba.
On April 20, Salazar commented on recent policy measures targeting criminal organizations: “Another strong move from @SecRubio to hold cartel criminals and their inner circle accountable.
For too long, narco-terrorists have built fortunes off the pain and deaths of innocent Americans while their families lived in luxury off blood money.
The era of impunity is OVER. https://t.co/h63KvXeHqd“. The statement refers to ongoing efforts within Congress and by federal agencies aimed at disrupting transnational criminal organizations through sanctions and law enforcement initiatives.
Salazar represents a Miami-area district that includes many Cuban-American constituents. She has frequently spoken about issues related to U.S.-Cuba relations as well as public safety concerns tied to organized crime.
