Salazar Draws GOP Fire Over Trump Immigration Ad in R+6 Florida District

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 17

María Elvira Salazar released a Thursday campaign ad saying Trump’s immigration crackdown has "gone too far," warning Hispanics who helped elect him in 2024 now feel betrayed.
House Freedom Caucus leaders swiftly rebuked the Florida Republican, saying every person in the U.S. illegally should be deported and rejecting any legal status as amnesty.
DHS reinforced that line, calling the effort the most historic mass deportation campaign in U.S. history and saying migrants should take a $3,000 self-deportation payment or leave.
Salazar has already clashed with conservatives over asylum and legalization proposals for undocumented migrants without criminal records, even as Democrats target her Trump-friendly R+6 South Florida seat.
