Story summary

Republican Representative Maria Elvira Salazar, facing re-election in Florida's heavily Hispanic district, released a campaign ad on September 17 criticizing President Donald Trump's immigration policies. In the ad, recorded outside the White House and aired in both English and Spanish, Salazar stated that some of Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts had "gone too far," indicating that Hispanics who supported him feel betrayed. This comes amid concerns that aggressive immigration measures could alienate Hispanic voters crucial to Republican success in the November 3 midterm elections. The ad marks a significant break from her previous support and endorsement by Trump earlier this year, highlighting growing divisions within the party over how to approach immigration enforcement ahead of the midterms.
