In the United States, Republican Representative Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida released a campaign video criticizing President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement, saying it has gone too far and that Hispanic voters who supported him in 2024 now feel betrayed. She noted that half of about 50,000 people detained in July had no criminal record. Salazar, whose district is heavily Hispanic, urged Trump to reconsider his immigration policies. Democrats also attacked the mass deportation drive, claiming it harms the economy by causing labor shortages and higher prices. The White House did not respond to requests for comment.
