What happened

Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a Republican, filmed a political advertisement warning President Trump that he has "gone too far" on immigration.

Context

The ad reflects concern among some Republicans that their electoral gains with Latino voters may be at risk. Immigration policy and its messaging appear to be a point of internal party tension, with at least some GOP members worried that the party's current position could alienate the Latino voters they have been attempting to win over.
