Miami Republicans Seek “Nuance” In Deportations

The Hill reports:

A trio of Miami-area Republicans are pushing back against the administration as President Trump works to end programs protecting many of the region’s immigrant communities from deportation. Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) asked for “nuance” in plans for a wholesale rescission of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), something the administration has axed for both Venezuela and Haiti.

It’s a small but notable pushback from within the GOP to Trump’s mass deportation agenda. “Obviously I understand what the president is doing and the administration is doing,” Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) told The Hill. Gimenez said he, Diaz-Balart and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) hope to meet with Noem as soon as next week.

Though Diaz-Balart described the asylum process as “totally abused,” he also said the Trump administration has an opportunity to do a case-by-case analysis before deportations.
