Selena Gomez in Tears Over Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
Selena Gomez’s tearful plea for migrant families has gone viral, sparking a fierce debate over Trump’s immigration crackdown.
Border Czar Tom Homan defended the ICE raids, stating, “No apologies… we’re moving forward to make communities safer.” Critics call the crackdown unconstitutional, with lawsuits piling up.
During his first week in office, Trump signed 10 executive orders on immigration and issued a slew of edicts to carry out promises of mass deportations and tighten border security.
“I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry,” Gomez, 32, said in the now-deleted video. “All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something but I can’t.”
“I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” she added, as she wiped away tears. In text over the video, she wrote, “I’m sorry” and added the Mexican flag emoji.
Gomez faced backlash after sharing the video with her 422 million Instagram followers. Many people, including conservative commentators, criticized Gomez for posting a video of herself crying over the mass deportations.
