Hector Mujica, a Venezuelan American running for Florida's 28th Congressional District, criticized Rep. María Elvira Salazar this week over her claim that she is "one of the leaders on immigration," calling the characterization misleading and accusing her of supporting policies that harm immigrant communities.

In a post on X, the candidate shared a video of Salazar's remarks along with a caption that reads: "a leader of mass deportation of hardworking immigrants is what you are," directly responding to Salazar's remarks. He also criticized her broader comments on Venezuela policy, describing her explanation as "a word salad" and questioning the logic of engaging with figures he described as responsible for the country's crisis.
