Selena Gomez recently found herself at the center of controversy after sharing a heartfelt video expressing her sympathy for Mexican migrants facing deportation under Donald Trump’s regime.

The video, which showed Gomez sobbing as she spoke about the distress caused by mass deportations, quickly sparked backlash, including from U.S.

Senate candidate Sam Parker, who called for her to be deported.

Gomez, born in the U.S. to Mexican-American grandparents, wasted no time in hitting back.

Emotional Video Leads to Heated Debate

The 32-year-old pop star and actress posted the emotional video in response to President Trump’s mass deportations, which he had campaigned on during the 2024 election.

In the video, Gomez, visibly upset, expressed her frustration over the treatment of children and immigrants under the current policies.

“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,” she said.

She captioned the video, “I’m sorry [Mexican flag emoji].”

Although she later deleted the video, the response from the public was immediate.

Many Republicans and MAGA supporters criticized Gomez for voicing her views, with Parker leading the charge.

Senate Candidate Calls for Gomez to Be Deported

Parker took to social media to publicly call for the deportation of the singer, writing, “Deport Selena Gomez” alongside her tearful video.

He later posted again, stating that Gomez, a third-generation American, had an “entitlement attitude” due to her Mexican roots and criticized her for allegedly supporting undocumented immigrants over American citizens.

In response, Gomez didn’t hold back. On Instagram, she humorously wrote, “Oh Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker.

Thanks for the laugh and the threat.” Parker, relishing in the attention from her fans, posted her response, claiming, “Inject their tears into my veins.”

Border Czar Defends Mass Deportations Amid Backlash

The controversy surrounding Gomez’s video didn’t end there.

Tom Homan, the U.S. Border Czar overseeing the deportations, quickly responded to the backlash against the government’s actions.

Homan, speaking to Fox News, made it clear that the deportation operations would continue without apology.

“If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law.

We’re going to do this operation without apology,” he said.

He emphasized that the deportation efforts were meant to make the country safer, particularly targeting illegal migrants with criminal records.

Homan denied accusations that children were being specifically targeted in the raids, stating that only “public safety threats and national security threats” were being arrested.

Critics Slam Gomez for Not Taking Action

While some criticized the administration’s policies, others took issue with Gomez’s emotional display, questioning why, with her reported $1.3 billion net worth, she wasn’t doing more to address the issue in a tangible way.

Megyn Kelly, a prominent critic, expressed disdain for the way Gomez presented her emotions.

“She deleted it after her fans taught her that the majority of the country stands behind these policies,” Kelly remarked.

“She’s unwell. Obviously, this is an unwell person.”

The debate surrounding Gomez’s video highlights the deep divisions in the ongoing immigration debate, with both sides accusing the other of disregarding the safety and well-being of American citizens and migrants alike.

Rapid Deportations and ICE’s Increased Quotas

The Trump Administration’s crackdown on immigration has intensified in recent weeks, with U.S.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) making hundreds of arrests nationwide

. On one weekend alone, ICE arrested 956 individuals, primarily targeting sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with immigration agents.

However, reports indicate that President Trump is not satisfied with the pace of the deportations and has instructed ICE officials to increase their quotas, aiming for a daily arrest number between 1,200 and 1,500.
