Salazar presses Trump on immigration in campaign ad, signaling GOP shift
TL;DR
Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar released a campaign ad criticizing Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement as having “gone too far,” citing data that many detainees had no criminal record. The move highlights Salazar’s push for immigration reform (the Dignity Act) and comes as she faces a competitive race in a Miami district with a large Hispanic electorate, while Democrats hope the ad signals GOP distancing from Trump ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
