Selena Gomez: 'All My People Are Getting Attacked'


Actress and singer Selena Gomez shared and then deleted a video of her crying about ICE deportations and expressing her wish she could "do something."

Over the first weekend of President Donald Trump’s second term, federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and their partners conducted nationwide roundups of more than 1,200 illegal immigrants who were charged or convicted with committing crimes on American soil.

FOX News Digital reports the American-born "Only Murders in the Building" star posted a video to her Instagram story with a caption of "I’m sorry" along with a Mexican flag emoji.

"All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand," she said while crying. "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 deleted the video shortly afterward, and according to a purported screenshot, posted another, now-deleted Instagram story simply with a caption saying, "Apparently it’s not okay to show empathy for people."

The video was widely mocked across social media, such as by talk show host Piers Morgan, who wrote, "Posting yourself weeping over illegal immigrant criminals being deported is a new level of absurd celebrity narcissism."

The actress has spoken about illegal immigration before, and executive produced a Netflix documentary series about illegal immigrants called "Living Undocumented."

Meanwhile, Border czar Tom Homan asked singer and actress Selena Gomez where her tears are for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have died from fentanyl coming across the southern border after she filmed herself crying about the Trump administration’s deportation efforts across the country.

"I met with hundreds of Angel moms and dads who are separated from their children because they buried them because they were killed by illegal aliens," Homan said Monday on "Hannity."

"We got a half a million children who were sex trafficked into this country, separated from their families, put in the hands of criminal cartels to be smuggled into the country. This administration can't find over 300,000. Where's the tears for them?"
