Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) looked into a camera this week and told President Donald Trump something Miami has been saying quietly for months. “Some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far,” she said, citing a July count in which half of the roughly 50,000 people detained had no criminal record.
Salazar represents one of the most heavily Hispanic districts in the country and says many of the voters who helped elect Trump in 2024 now feel betrayed. Her warning deserves attention for another reason. Washington is increasingly treating Nicolas Maduro’s removal as evidence that Venezuela has changed enough for Venezuelans to go home.
