Ileana Garcia, a co-founder of Latinas for Trump, has faced backlash for her comments condemning the current immigration crackdown initiated by the Trump administration. Critics argue that Garcia's past support for Trump endorses his policies, especially those promoting bigotry. However, Garcia distinguishes her stance from the current measures that affect individuals managing their immigration claims. She, alongside Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar, highlights the concerning trend of ICE arresting individuals attending legal proceedings, calling for respect for due process in a fair immigration system.
"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."
"Arrests in immigration courts... and other similar measures all jeopardize our duty to due process that every democracy must guarantee."
