Why are Democrats Approving Trump Appointees?

Good evening, I am writing to you to express my disappointment that senate democrats voted unanimously to approve Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Rubio announced today that he has negotiated a deal with El Salvador to accept deportees of any nationality, including incarcerated Americans. This is ridiculous and illegal. El Salvador is a country notorious for human rights abuses, particularly in prisons. While the illegality of deporting American citizens should be obvious, deporting people of any nationality to a location where they are likely to face persecution or torture is also a violation of both US and international law. It’s extremely disappointing and disheartening to see democrats doing absolutely nothing to protect us from this administration.
