Trump turns on Rep. Salazar fol­low­ing report Mia­mi Repub­li­cans reject­ed immi­gra­tion adver­tise­ment

Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump turned on Rep. Maria Elvi­ra Salazar (R‑FL) on Sat­ur­day after­noon after orig­i­nal­ly retain­ing his sup­port for the Mia­mi-area Repub­li­can after she released an adver­tise­ment crit­i­ciz­ing the Trump administration’s immi­gra­tion poli­cies. 
Salazar, whose race tight­ened this week, made head­lines ear­li­er in the month for releas­ing an adver­tise­ment shot out­side the White House that argued Trump’s enforce­ment of immi­gra­tion law had “gone too far” and the His­pan­ic vot­ers who helped him win the 2024 pres­i­den­tial elec­tion were grow­ing crit­i­cal of his pres­i­den­cy.
