"Breier's April 21 stop in Honduras includes a meeting with President Juan Orlando Hernandez," the release stated.
While in El Salvador on April 21, Breier will meet with senior government officials and visit Salvadoran government projects promoting employment and anti-gang efforts, the release said.
However, the Primary purpose of Breier's visit is to urge the governments of both nations "to do more to prevent illegal immigration to the United States," the release said.
