Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Florida’s 27th district, posted a series of messages on February 24, 2026, highlighting the support of faith leaders for her proposed DIGNIDAD Act and advocating for faith-based immigration reform.
In a post published at 15:53 UTC, Salazar wrote: “Cientos de pastores. Coaliciones de fe de todo el país.
Un mensaje claro:
La Ley DIGNIDAD restablece el orden con responsabilidad, protege a las familias y preserva nuestras comunidades.
Los líderes de fe están dando un paso al frente porque lo que está en juego es real… y es https://t.co/J6qX1QoilN“.
Later that day at 16:31 UTC, she thanked Pastor Lorenzo Sewell and other religious leaders for their public support. She stated: “Thank you @PstrSewell and the pastors who stood with me today to defend our churches and demand a faith-based solution to our broken immigration system. When the faith community rises, the nation must listen. https://t.co/tBpqj0Wm59”.
A minute later, she reiterated her gratitude in Spanish: “Gracias al Pastor Lorenzo Sewell y a los pastores que hoy me acompañaron para defender nuestras iglesias y pedir una solución con principios de fe a nuestro sistema migratorio.
Cuando la comunidad de fe se levanta, Estados Unidos escucha.”
The DIGNIDAD Act is an immigration reform bill introduced by Rep. Salazar that seeks to provide a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants while also strengthening border security and enforcement measures. The legislation has drawn attention from various religious organizations and coalitions across the United States who have voiced support for its approach centered on responsibility and family protection.
Salazar’s emphasis on collaboration with faith leaders reflects ongoing efforts among lawmakers to engage religious communities in policy discussions related to immigration reform.
