Selena Gomez tears up in a video discussing Trump’s deportation plan and responds to criticism with grace, despite the personal attacks.
Selena Gomez has made a rare public comment following an emotional video where she broke down while discussing former President Donald Trump’s deportation plan, which targets millions of immigrants. The actress and singer, who is of Mexican descent, expressed deep sadness and frustration over the deportation of families and children.
In the emotional Instagram video, Gomez teared up as she spoke about the toll this plan takes on immigrant communities. “All my people are getting attacked, the children,” she said, wiping away tears. “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 quickly garnered widespread attention, caught the eye of Sam Parker, a former Republican Senate candidate from Utah. Parker responded on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Deport Selena Gomez.” This sparked a response from Gomez, who took to her Instagram Stories with a message to Parker: “Oh, Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker. Thanks for the laugh and the threat.”
Gomez’s comment was both lighthearted and resilient, as she turned a hurtful message into a moment of strength. Despite the personal attack, she remained focused on the greater issue of immigration and the emotional toll it’s taking on her and others.
Her emotional response highlights the personal connection Gomez feels to the issue, and her willingness to speak out despite the criticism she may face. As an advocate for immigrant rights, Gomez’s tearful video has sparked a broader conversation about the impact of deportation policies on immigrant communities, especially children.
