President Donald Trump continues to support Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar's reelection despite her recent criticism of his administration’s immigration policies in a campaign ad. In comments at the White House, Trump defended his border security record and said he was responsible for Salazar winning her seat. The ad argues that Trump’s immigration enforcement has alienated Hispanic voters who previously supported him, suggesting they feel "betrayed" by recent policy changes.

Story summary
Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) broke from President Donald Trump in a new campaign advertisement, criticizing his immigration enforcement efforts as having "gone too far." Representing a district in Miami and its suburbs that is home to a large Hispanic community, Salazar highlighted that 50% of the 50,000 people detained in July had no criminal record, warning Trump to be cautious about his advisers' immigration policies. The ad urges him to protect immigrants similarly to how Lincoln addressed slavery and Reagan dealt with communism, without mentioning amnesty but advocating for a "dignified life" for illegal immigrants who have lived in the US for more than five years and passed background checks. This shift comes ahead of the November midterm elections, as Salazar faces increasing scrutiny from fellow Republicans over her criticism of Trump's immigration stance.
