Donald Trump criticized Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar and amplified calls to replace her after she challenged parts of his immigration enforcement agenda. Salazar said she had urged Trump to reconsider his approach and described their conversation as receptive.
Trump amplified social media posts criticizing Salazar and calling for a Republican primary challenger after she said some of his immigration enforcement efforts had gone too far. He said he was strong on border enforcement, described Salazar as softer on the border, and claimed his endorsement helped her win her seat in 2020. Trump had endorsed her for reelection in August.
Salazar’s campaign advertisement argued that enforcement should distinguish people involved in criminal activity from undocumented immigrants working in the United States. She later said she had spoken with Trump, urged him to reconsider his approach, and found him courteous and receptive.
