Selena Gomez has shared an emotional response to former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, which she says are affecting her community. In an Instagram Story video shared on January 27, the 32-year-old singer and actress, who has been open about her Mexican heritage, became visibly upset as she expressed her concerns about the impact of the policies on immigrants and their families.
Following Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2017, he signed several executive orders that laid the groundwork for mass deportations and stricter immigration enforcement across the United States. These actions sparked widespread protests and anger from those who believed the policies disproportionately targeted vulnerable communities.
In the video, an emotional Gomez spoke directly to her followers, saying, “All my people are getting attacked,” as tears welled up in her eyes. She went on to explain the pain and confusion felt by many, especially children affected by the policies. “The children, they don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do,” she said, her voice breaking with emotion.
In a moment of resolve, Gomez added, “I’ll try everything. I promise.” The video, which showed the star visibly distraught, was accompanied by a heartfelt caption that read, “I’m sorry,” along with a Mexican flag emoji. Her raw, emotional display resonated with many fans who shared her feelings of frustration and helplessness over the situation.
