Florida Republican Rep. Salazar criticizes Trump’s immigration crackdown in new ad
Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a Republican from Florida, released a campaign advertisement that criticizes President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement, saying some actions exceed acceptable limits. In the ad she noted that 50 percent of the 50,000 people detained in July had no criminal history. The spot follows her earlier condemnation of Trump’s arrangement with acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez as a violation of the rule of law.
At the same time, other Republican candidates are removing Trump’s name from campaign materials as midterm polls tighten. The development adds another public rebuke from a GOP lawmaker on immigration policy.
