Selena Gomez breaks down in tears while speaking about deportation of Mexicans

Actress and singer Selena Gomez has posted a video of herself in tears appearing to talk about Mexicans being deported from America. The Emilia Perez star, 32, sobbed to the camera as she seemed to reference Donald Trump’s plans to crack down and block “illegal aliens” entering the US across the southern border.
Shortly after becoming the 47th US President, Trump declared a national emergency on the US-Mexico border saying he would dispatch troops there and resume a policy forcing asylum-seeking migrants to wait in Mexico for their US court hearings. In the 30-second video, which has been deleted from Instagram, a distraught Gomez said: “I just wanted to say that I am so sorry. All my people are getting attacked - and children.”.
“They don’t understand,” continued Gomez, who has Mexican heritage. “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.”. Trump took office last week, promising massive deportations of migrants who were in the US illegally. But in the days since there has not been a "substantial" increase in deportees received by Mexico, the country’s President said on Monday.
Claudia Sheinbaum said in her daily morning press conference that Mexico had accepted more than 4,000 deportees, of which a "large majority" were Mexican. Meanwhile, on Sunday, Trump hit Colombia with 25 per cent tariffs after the country refused US flights deporting migrants.
