Donald Trump's pal aims fire at Selena Gomez after she breaks down in tears in borders row

Donald Trump's border tsar insisted the US government has "no apologies" for anyone affected by a purported mass deportation policy. Tom Homan alluded to a moving video in which Selena Gomez, 32, is seen breaking down in tears as she shares her concern about the policy. Gomez, who has previously referred to herself as Mexican-American, said: "All my people are getting attacked. The children. I don't understand" in the video which she has since deleted off her social media.
Mr Trump, 78, has for months stressed a deportation policy would happen on his first day back in office and now, around one week into his second stint as US President, wheels appear to already be in motion. His "border tsar," former law enforcement officer Mr Homan, said yesterday: "If they don't like it, then go to Congress and change the law. We're going to do this operation without apology.".
The 63-year-old politician's scathing comments on Fox News come as raids have already happened across the US to displace desperate citizens. They have been put on government flights out of the country, and more are set to be sent packing in the coming weeks.
Mr Homan added: "We're gonna make our community safer... It is all for the good of this nation. And we're gonna keep going. No apologies. We're moving forward.". But Gomez, who was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA for her role in film Emilia Pérez last year, had shared her fears of family separations. The star, who was born in Texas to a father of Mexican descent, captioned her Instagram post: "I'm sorry [Mexican flag emoji].".
