Selena Gomez Sobs Over Trump’s Deportations in Emotional Video

by

On her Instagram stories, Selena Gomez expressed her feelings openly by posting a video of herself crying in response to the forced removal of undocumented immigrants under the tougher immigration policies implemented by President Trump.

In a video shared earlier on Monday, the multitalented artist expressed her deep concern, choking back tears as she stated, “My people are under attack… the innocent children. This doesn’t make sense to me. I’m deeply sorry. I wish there was something I could do, but I’m helpless. I don’t know how to help. I promise to exhaust every possible solution.

The actress from “Only Murders in the Building” faced swift criticism from Trump supporters after posting a video, which she later removed.

Or, more casually:

The video posted by the star of “Only Murders in the Building” was quickly panned by Trump supporters, causing her to take it down.

It seems that expressing compassion towards others is not acceptable,” remarked Gomez, born in Texas and proudly identifying as a third-generation Mexican-American.

The video emerges at a time when Hollywood seems unusually reserved regarding the contentious topic of deportation, given a widespread perception that the nation’s sentiments have evolved and there’s growing discomfort among many about engaging in political discussions.

Over the course of the weekend, teams from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) along with their partners carried out nationwide arrests of over 1,200 individuals who are in the country without documentation, as reported by Fox News. The focus of these arrests was on those undocumented immigrants who have previously been accused or found guilty of committing crimes within U.S. territory; they were referred to as “criminal aliens.

Previously, Gomez has been a vocal advocate for immigration matters and once penned an essay on the topic for Time magazine. In her own words, she expressed, “Undocumented immigration is a concern that constantly occupies my thoughts, and I am always mindful of the good fortune I’ve had being born in this country, which I owe to my family and sheer luck.” Writing in October, she admitted to feeling anxious whenever she reads the news headlines or witnesses heated debates about immigration on social media, as it leaves her fearing for those in similar circumstances, and ultimately for the well-being of her nation.

Apart from creating a Netflix documentary titled “Living Undocumented” in 2019, Gomez expressed her concern about the treatment of people in her home country. As a Mexican-American woman, she feels a sense of duty to utilize her influence to be an advocate for those who are fearful to speak up. She hopes that by sharing the stories of these eight families, it will spark more empathy within others and encourage them to educate themselves about immigration issues, ultimately allowing them to make informed decisions.
