Selena Gomez Shares Emotional Response to Trump's Immigration Policies
Selena Gomez, the Mexican-American singer and actress, recently shared a tearful video on her Instagram Story reacting to President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and deportation policies. In the emotional clip, Gomez, visibly distraught, expressed her anguish over the treatment of immigrants, particularly children, stating, “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.” The video, which featured an image of the Mexican flag, was quickly deleted after receiving backlash, with Gomez later commenting, “Apparently it’s not OK to show empathy for people.”
Gomez, who was born in Grand Prairie, Texas, has long been an advocate for immigrant rights, often drawing on her family’s experiences. Her paternal grandparents immigrated from Mexico, and she has spoken about her aunt’s journey to the U.S. “hidden in the back of a truck” in the 1990s. In a 2019 essay for Time, Gomez emphasized that immigration is a “human issue” and expressed her commitment to using her platform to advocate for those affected by harsh policies.
The Trump administration has ramped up deportation efforts, including targeted operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and deportation flights to Central America. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the measures, stating that President Trump is sending a “strong and clear message” to deter illegal immigration. Critics, however, argue that these policies create fear and instability for immigrant communities.
While some praised Gomez for her emotional appeal, others criticized her for being out of touch. Despite the backlash, Gomez’s advocacy highlights the personal and emotional toll of immigration policies on families and communities. Her deleted video underscores the ongoing debate over immigration reform and the role of celebrities in advocating for social justice.
