Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategy during Tuesday's Cabinet meeting marking President Donald Trump's 100th day in office, revealing that the U.S. is seeking additional international cooperation to remove undocumented immigrants from the country.

"We have gone to countries all over the world and said, 'Hey, you want good relations with the United States? You need to take back your people that are here illegally,'" Rubio said during a passage of the meeting. He added that the administration is now "actively searching for other countries to take people from third countries, not just El Salvador," which is housing hundreds of Venezuelans accused of being part of Tren de Aragua gang.
