“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far,” Salazar said in the ad. “The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today.”
The video marked a stunning break from the President who backed Salazar’s re-election bid earlier this year. In February, Trump said in a Truth Social post that the Congresswoman was “doing a truly fantastic job representing the wonderful people of Florida’s 27th Congressional District!” and that she “knows the Wisdom and Courage required to confront the Corrupt Fake News.” He said that she had his “Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election” before telling voters that Salazar “WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”
Trump has railed against other members of his party who have broken with him, going so far as to endorse several of their challengers in the primaries. The President endorsed Ed Gallrein, for instance, who ultimately defeated Rep. Thomas Massie in the May Republican primary for the Kentucky Congressman’s seat, after Massie broke with Trump on various issues, including objecting to the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and leading the effort to push the Department of Justice to release the so-called “Epstein files.”
The Cook Political Report indicates that Salazar, a three-term Congresswoman, is expected to hold on to her seat come November, rating it as “Likely Republican.”
Thursday’s ad isn’t the first time that Salazar has expressed concerns about the Trump Administration’s immigration enforcement efforts. Earlier this week, she responded to reports that Luis Galeano, an exiled Nicaraguan journalist whose U.S. asylum application has been pending for years, had been detained by federal immigration agents.
“I have been clear with the Administration: enforce the law and deport dangerous individuals, but do not treat political exiles like criminals,” she continued.
Salazar has also been backing a bipartisan measure in the House that would grant immigrants who don’t have a criminal history a route to secure legal status in the U.S., but not a pathway to citizenship.
