We condemn the unlawful actions of the Houthis who forcibly took additional United Nations staff members in Yemen on January 23. We support the UN Secretary General and all @UN efforts to secure the unconditional and immediate release of all Houthi detainees. state.gov/un-staff-detai…

The fake news is already lying about our successful partnership with Mexico helping to make our region safe again. The truth is, four ICE flights arrived in Mexico yesterday. Two military flights were sent to Guatemala because they were filled with Guatemalans. 2000 aliens were deported to Mexico yesterday alone by land and air, as Remain in Mexico was reimplemented. Promises made, promises kept.

Many thanks to @POTUS and @SecRubio for their trust in me as the new State Department Spokesperson.

Our leadership’s America First policy means our country will be safer, stronger, and more prosperous. I look forward to engaging our press corps and am proud to join the @StateDept team as we work to deploy President Trump's forward-looking agenda and refocus our foreign relations on America’s national interests.

Let's get to work!

It has been an honor to serve as @statedeptspox and stand in front of reporters from around the world to take questions on behalf of the U.S. That tradition is a source of great strength for our democracy that I hope continues long into the future.
