The Disney star-turned-pop-princess took to Instagram tonight with an incredibly emotional clip as she expressed her feelings on Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. Since being re-elected to serve a second term as president, the Trump administration has increased deportation efforts at the southern border.
Sharing her reaction to Trump’s threat to deport masses of undocumented immigrants, Gomez, 32, sobbed to the camera as she apologised for the fear that has struck countless families. Gomez deleted her post and then shared a black screen with the text: ‘Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people’.

Senatorial candidate Sam Parker then publicly called for Selena, who has Mexican heritage, to be deported. He wrote on X: ‘Selena Gomez picked illegals over America b/c she’s the 3rd gen descendent of Mexican illegals who received citizenship in the ’87 Amnesty. She has an entitlement attitude toward America, like her illegal g’parents. Maybe Selena should be deported, too?’.
