Selena Gomez posted a now-deleted video on Instagram where she cried about recent immigration crackdowns initiated by President Trump. After receiving backlash, she also posted and deleted a statement saying “apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.” Sam Parker, a politician, attacked her and suggested she should be deported as well because her grandparents immigrated from Mexico. Gomez responded to this in an Instagram Story that was later deleted. Trump’s recent immigration raids led to the arrest of nearly 1,200 people, with only 52% being considered “criminals.” Some criticized Gomez for her stance on immigration and her statement that she “can’t” do anything, while others defended her for speaking out during the raids. TV personality Geraldo Rivera defended Gomez and praised her compassion, saying people attacking her should be ashamed. Gomez produced a Netflix documentary called “Living Undocumented” that followed families living in the U.S. without legal status. In a Time Magazine editorial, she explained her support for the project and shared her own family’s immigration story. She emphasized the importance of educating ourselves on the issue and speaking out despite potential backlash.
