## Attack ad targets Salazar's immigration record
A robocall paid for by super PAC Battleground Alliance attacks Republican U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar for supporting President Donald Trump's immigration agenda in Florida's twenty-seventh congressional district.
## The robocall's main claims
The call says Salazar voted for eighty-three billion dollars for ICE, ten thousand new agents, new detention camps, and toured Alligator Alcatraz calling the cages clean.
## Salazar's opponent in the race
Salazar is running against Democrat Eliott Rodriguez for Florida's twenty-seventh congressional district, which includes parts of Miami.
## ICE funding votes checked
Salazar voted for H.R. one, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law in July twenty twenty-five, giving ICE around seventy-five billion dollars including forty-five billion for detention centers and nearly thirty billion to…
## Second ICE funding bill
In June, Salazar also voted for the Secure America Act, which gave ICE an extra thirty-eight point five billion dollars. Battleground Alliance reached eighty-three billion by adding both bills' amounts.
## Trump administration deportation policy
The Trump administration has said anyone illegally in the country is subject to deportation. News outlets have reported on ICE arresting older adults, children and people at work.
## Salazar's detention center tour
After touring Alligator Alcatraz in South Florida in July twenty twenty-five, Salazar told CBS News the facility was clean and well presented, saying she sat on the beds and they were soft.

> It's a jail, people are in a cage, I sat on the beds, they are clean, they are soft… It was clean and it was very well presented.
## Detention center conditions questioned
In July twenty twenty-five, of roughly seven hundred fifty people detained at Alligator Alcatraz, more than two hundred fifty had no criminal convictions or pending charges in the U.S.
## Inspector general report on facility
A Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report found Alligator Alcatraz didn't meet standards for environmental health and safety, medical care, food service and personal hygiene, and noted some detainees were held in…
## Public confrontation over detention center
In September, a South Florida woman whose father was detained at Alligator Alcatraz confronted Salazar at a public event over her support for the facility.
## Body camera claim lacks context
The robocall says Salazar voted against making ICE agents wear body cameras. Salazar hasn't explicitly voted against such bills and voted for a bill that granted twenty million dollars for body cameras, though it didn't…
## Salazar's body camera vote explained
Salazar voted against a Democratic motion to recommit a bill requiring ICE agents to wear body cameras, remove masks, show a badge and have a judicial warrant when arresting an immigrant.
## Fact-check verdict on robocall
The robocall is largely accurate on Salazar's immigration record and detention center comments, but omits context about her actual stance on requiring ICE agents to wear body cameras.
## Key takeaway

A robocall attacking Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar's immigration votes is largely accurate on funding figures and her detention center comments, but omits context about her stance on ICE body cameras.
