GOP congresswoman warns Trump advisers are harming his legacy over mass deportations
Sep 20, 2026·Location: Washington, DC
Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar criticized the Trump administration's immigration enforcement, warning that advisers are 'compromising his legacy' by pursuing aggressive deportations that sweep up undocumented immigrants without criminal records. She cited a statistic that 50% of the 50,000 people detained in July had no criminal record, and noted rising discontent among Hispanic voters. Trump responded by downplaying her influence and defending his hardline border stance.
