Story summary

Republican Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida released a campaign ad on September 17, 2026, criticizing President Trump's immigration enforcement policies as having "gone too far," citing that in July, 50% of the 50,000 people detained had no criminal record. Salazar warned Trump that Hispanic voters who supported him in the 2024 election feel betrayed. Her district is nearly three-quarters Hispanic and leans Republican; she faces a significant challenge from Democrat Eliott Rodriguez ahead of the November midterm elections. Following the ad's release, Salazar said on CBS News' "Face the Nation" that Trump had been "very receptive" to her concerns and argued that some of his advisers were not presenting the full picture to him regarding immigration policy.
