Donald Trump reposted criticism of Rep. María Elvira Salazar after she criticized his immigration enforcement policies in a campaign ad. The dispute drew a response from Salazar’s Democratic challenger, Eliott Rodriguez, and the White House.
Trump reposted at least 14 posts criticizing Salazar after she released an ad outside the White House saying some of his immigration enforcement efforts had gone too far. Salazar cited a statistic about people detained by ICE and said Hispanic voters who helped Trump win in 2024 felt betrayed. Trump had earlier said he still supported her while disagreeing with her position.
The White House said Salazar’s view was not the president’s and rejected the suggestion that the reposts signaled a change in his position. Rodriguez called Salazar’s ad a political stunt. The article also notes Trump’s earlier endorsement of Salazar and criticism of her DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act, which she introduced in July 2023.
