Selena Gomez Faces Backlash and Support Following Tearful Video on Immigration Raids

The actress and singer expressed emotional distress over mass deportations under Trump's administration, prompting polarized reactions online and in the media.

Selena Gomez posted and later deleted a tearful Instagram video expressing sorrow over immigration raids, stating, 'All my people are getting attacked.'
The video drew criticism from conservative figures, including calls for Gomez's deportation, as well as praise from supporters like rapper Flavor Flav.
Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, defended the raids, claiming they target individuals with criminal histories and urging critics to address the laws through Congress.
Dr. Phil, after observing ICE operations, stated that Gomez's emotional reaction seemed sincere but questioned its alignment with the nature of the arrests.
Gomez, who has previously spoken about her family’s immigrant roots, faced both ridicule and commendation for her empathy, reigniting debates on immigration and celebrity activism.
