Maria Elvira Salazar Warns Trump His Immigration Policies Could Cost Hispanic Support
Salazar said 50% of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees in July had no criminal convictions or pending charges as she defended her warning to Trump.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump attacked Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar after she released a campaign ad criticizing his immigration policy, claiming she 'got a little bit soft on the border' and questioning her political success without his support.
- In the ad, Salazar warned that the administration's deportation efforts had "gone too far," citing that 50 percent of Customs Enforcement detainees in July lacked criminal convictions. She characterized the message as a "warning" to the President rather than an attack.
- Representing a 74-percent Hispanic district that Trump won, Salazar is seeking re-election against Democrat Eliott Rodriguez. She urged the President to model his immigration approach on Lincoln or Reagan to provide a "dignified life" for those in the country.
- Criticism from Democrats and in Congress followed the ad, with journalist Gary Legum suggesting her polling numbers must be "terrrrrrible" to justify rebuking Trump by name. Salazar maintains she intended to caution the President regarding his administration's current immigration enforcement strategies.
- As the midterms approach, the effectiveness of Salazar's strategy to distance herself from Trump remains uncertain. She faces a complex balancing act, attempting to satisfy her constituents while challenging the leader of her own party on a central campaign issue.
