State Sen. Ileana Garcia, a longtime Trump-supporting Miami Republican, who co-founded the group Latinas for Trump, is condemning her hero’s mass-deportation campaign and blasting recent immigration enforcement actions as harmful.
“This is not what we voted for,” Garcia said in a statement on Saturday. “I have always supported Trump, through thick and thin. However, this is unacceptable and inhumane.”
“I understand the importance of deporting criminal aliens, but what we are witnessing are arbitrary measures to hunt down people who are complying with their immigration hearings—in many cases, with credible fear of persecution claims—all driven by a Miller-like desire to satisfy a self-fabricated deportation goal,” she continued. “This undermines the sense of fairness and justice that the American people value.”
I stand with Congresswoman Salazar. As the state senator who represents her district and the daughter of Cuban refugees, who are now just as American, if not more so than Stephen Miller, I am deeply disappointed by these actions.
And I will not stand down.I want to put myself… https://t.co/fk26Pvq5Vs
