Johnson says GOP had ‘little hiccup’ with Hispanic voters over ICE operations

Published March 10, 2026 5:50pm ET



House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the Republican Party is “in a course-correction mode” after the immigration enforcement policies under Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Johnson maintained confidence that the GOP is doing the work to sustain the votes from a new coalition of typically blue voters it brought into the party in 2024, including Hispanic Americans. Johnson made the comments at the Republican policy retreat, responding to a question about how the Department of Homeland Security’s immigration tactics could affect Hispanic voters in the midterm elections, as the panelist pointed to a poll showing how Trump’s poll numbers are slipping among Hispanics.
