  "account": "US lawmakers from both parties criticized President Donald Trump's mass deportation strategy, with Republican Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar warning that Hispanic voters, who contributed to his election, now feel betrayed. Salazar, whose Florida district is predominantly Hispanic, stated that around half of the 50,000 people detained in July had no criminal record, urging Trump to reconsider immigration advice. She emphasized giving them a \"dignified life in this promised land,\" rather than amnesty. This direct rebuke comes as the party controlling Congress and the White House worries aggressive immigration enforcement might undermine Trump's Latino support. Democrats accuse the administration of a \"human and economic toll,\" citing rising costs due to labor shortages caused by mass deportations.",
  "summary": "Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar said roughly half of July’s 50,000 detainees had no criminal record and called for a rethink of immigration policy.",
