Selena Gomez has opened up emotionally over the impact of Donald Trump’s immigration policies, which have caused widespread concern among Latino and Mexican communities in the U.S.
Following Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the president signed a series of executive orders aimed at intensifying immigration enforcement and paving the way for mass deportations across the country.
In a raw and emotional video shared on Instagram on January 27, the 32-year-old singer and actress, who has openly embraced her Mexican heritage, broke down in tears.

“All my people are getting attacked,” she cried, visibly distressed. “The children, they don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do.”
Gomez expressed her helplessness in the face of the crisis, pledging to do everything she could to help. “I’ll try everything,” she vowed, “I promise.”
The video, which was captioned with “I’m sorry” and included a Mexican flag emoji, quickly drew attention from fans and critics alike.
While many praised Gomez for her emotional sincerity and advocacy for her community, the video also sparked backlash from some who disagreed with her stance.
Faced with criticism, Selena Gomez decided to delete the post shortly afterward.
Despite the controversy, Gomez’s heartfelt response to the immigration crisis underscores her continued commitment to her roots and the well-being of her community.
