By Armando Tinoco Staff Writer
Selena Gomez is expressing her emotions over Donald Trump‘s plans to deport undocumented immigrants following reports of ICE raids in major cities.
“All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand,” Gomez shared in an emotional and tearful video posted on her Instagram Stories, which she has now deleted. “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.”
Following the backlash, Gomez said in a since-deleted post, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”

Last Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security said it was ending a policy that restricted ICE agents from arresting undocumented people at houses of worship, schools, and hospitals.
“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense,” the DHS said in a statement.
The deportation of immigrants looking for a better life in the U.S. hits home for Gomez as her grandmother was a Mexican migrant chasing the American Dream at one point.
Gomez hasn’t been shy about providing a platform for Latino voices and stories, producing the Vix’s Spanish-language series Mi Vecino, El Cartel. She also starred in the Oscar-nominated film Emilia Pérez in the role of Mexican-American character Jessi Del Monte.
