Selena Gomez has captured global attention with a raw and emotional Instagram video criticizing President Donald Trump’s deportation policies. The singer and actress, known for her Mexican heritage, tearfully addressed the plight of immigrant families, holding a Mexican flag as she spoke of her heartbreak over the treatment of her community.
The video, which was later deleted, came after a nationwide crackdown on undocumented immigrants led to nearly 1,000 arrests. Gomez’s heartfelt plea is part of her ongoing commitment to immigrant rights, further solidifying her role as an advocate for those impacted by these divisive policies.

The 31-year-old singer and actress, whose family has Mexican roots, expressed visible distress while holding a Mexican flag, tearfully stating, "All my people are getting attacked, 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."
The video comes in the wake of a nationwide immigration crackdown that saw nearly 1,000 individuals arrested, marking one of the largest enforcement actions since Trump’s re-election.

She also penned a powerful op-ed for TIME magazine, sharing her personal connection to the challenges faced by immigrant communities and emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding.
