- Ileana Garcia, co-founder of Latinas for Trump and Miami state senator, condemns the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts as inhumane.
- These actions focus on thousands of immigrants, including Cuban and Venezuelan communities that supported Trump in the election.
- Garcia criticizes the demand for 3,000 arrests daily by Stephen Miller and highlights the absence of judicial oversight in deportation cases.
- While maintaining her support for Trump, she advocates for constructive solutions and plans meetings with Homeland Security officials.
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. This undermines the sense of fairness and justice that the American people value.— State Sen. Ileana Garcia commenting on the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions.
