Florida Republican says Cuban-refugee parents ā€œare now just as American, if not more so, than Stephen Miller

A Republican state lawmaker in Florida who founded Latinas for Trump condemned the administration’s sweeping immigration arrests across the state despite the president’s months-long campaign that promised the largest ā€œmass deportation operationā€ in American history.

ā€œThis is not what we voted for,ā€ state Sen. Ileana Garcia said in a statement Saturday. ā€œI have always supported Trump, through thick and thin. However, this is unacceptable and inhumane.ā€

She said her Cuban-refugee parents ā€œare now just as American, if not more so, than Stephen Miller,ā€ among the architects of Trump’s anti-immigration agenda demanding 3,000 daily immigration arrests.
