Selena Gomez weeps in video on Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, deletes later: 'My people are getting attacked'

Selena Gomez Breaks Down Over Trump’s Immigration Crackdown, Deletes Video Later: 'My People Are Being Attacked'

Selena Gomez shared an emotional video apologizing to those being deported from the US, expressing regret that she "couldn’t do anything" to help. The singer was visibly upset after President Donald Trump’s decision to deport illegal immigrants, posting a tearful message on her Instagram Stories, which was later deleted.

In the emotional video, Selena, dressed in black, appeared to be at home and told her followers, “I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry. 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 also shared the text "I’m sorry" alongside a Mexican flag on her Instagram Story. The video was shared widely on social media, receiving mixed reactions. One commenter wrote, “There’s a legal way to come into the United States. Why don’t they try that?” while another said, “It’s 2025, are we seriously still grabbing our phones to record ourselves crying??”

However, many defended Selena, with one fan tweeting, “People laughing at her are so disgusting, mind you, her people are getting deported, including children too. She has the right to cry. She comes from Mexican immigrant parents. We love you, Selena.” Another supporter wrote, “This is heartbreaking. Can you let the woman express her emotions? Imagine being a big artist and not being able to do anything for her people; she must feel devastated.”

Selena later posted a note on her Instagram Stories saying, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people,” though she deleted it as well. In 2019, Selena produced the Netflix documentary Living Undocumented, which highlighted the lives of eight immigrant families living in the US during the Trump administration.

Regarding the US deportation efforts, President Trump has promised the largest deportation wave in history. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum recently reported that around 4,000 deported migrants arrived in Mexico during Trump’s first week back in office. Government figures show that over 190,000 people were deported to Mexico from January to November 2024, with approximately 17,200 deported each month. Since Trump’s return to office, thousands of migrants have been sent back to Central and South America, though many of the deportations are based on previous agreements.
