GOP congresswoman releases ad warning Trump his deportation push is losing Hispanic support
Sep 20, 2026·Location: Washington, DC

Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar released a campaign ad and spoke directly with President Trump, warning that his immigration enforcement has 'gone too far' and is alienating Hispanic voters who backed him in 2024. She cited a statistic that 50% of the roughly 50,000 people detained in July had no criminal record. Salazar said she told Trump he risks losing the historic Hispanic support he built, and later described the conversation on CBS News' Face the Nation as 'very good,' saying Trump was 'courteous' and 'receptive,' while placing blame on his advisers rather than the president himself.
