Selena Gomez weeps over deportation of Mexicans under Trump administration
Washington, D.C.: Singer and actor Selena Gomez shared an emotional video addressing the deportation of Mexicans following US President Donald Trump’s recent immigration crackdown. In a video posted on her Instagram Stories, which was later deleted, Gomez was seen crying, apologising to those affected by the deportations, and expressing her helplessness.
“I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked — the children. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” said Gomez, who comes from Mexican immigrant parents. She accompanied the video with a “Sorry” note and the Mexican flag.
The video, shared on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), sparked mixed reactions. While some criticised Gomez, questioning why she recorded herself crying, others supported her, highlighting her empathy and inability to help on a larger scale.
Gomez later posted and deleted another note on Instagram, stating, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”
This is not the first time Gomez has addressed immigration issues. In 2019, she produced the Netflix documentary Living Undocumented, exploring the challenges faced by undocumented families in the US.
The deportations follow Trump’s vow to implement the largest deportation wave in US history. According to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico has received around 4,000 deported migrants since Trump resumed office, with deportation figures aligning with prior trends.
