The Mexican American supporter promised to ‘try everything’ to help at-risk immigrants. “I just want to say that I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked,” the 32-year-old Mexican American singer cried in a now-deleted post on Instagram on Monday (January 27). “The children. I don’t understand. 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,” she concluded, captioning her video, “I’m sorry” with a Mexican flag emoji. Gomez’s video was met with immediate backlash from Trump’s supporters, who accused her of performative online.
Right-wing political host Tomi Lahren called the actor a “certified moron” in a video shared on X. “This is why we don’t take our political advice from Disney child stars,” she wrote. Sam Parker, a Republican candidate who sought election to the U.S. Senate in 2018, wrote simply: “Deport Selena Gomez.”.
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson wrote of Gomez: “She’s a billionaire because of America. Yet she does not consider us ‘her people.’ We are over ungrateful woke victim brain rot.”. The Only Murders in the Building star subsequently deleted the video from her Instagram Story. She then went back online to hit back at the haters, writing: “Apparently it’s not OK to show empathy for people.”.
Gomez has since taken down her follow-up message, too. The actress’ tearful video comes after Trump signed a deluge of executive orders related to immigration due to an “unconscionable risk” to public safety and national security, a White House official said last Monday.
