Expressing her sadness, the 31-year-old star said: “All my people are being attacked, kids. I don’t understand I’m very sorry, I would like to do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” Gomez said.

She later shared another story on Instagram and wrote: “I guess it’s not normal to show compassion to people.”

Questioning the actress about illegal immigration, one netizen on X wrote, “Selena Gomez made a video of herself ugly crying over the ongoing mass deportations. Because, of course, a celebrity who has lost touch with zero understanding of how dangerous our country has become is crying about deporting criminals. How pitiful.”

Another wrote: “How many criminal aliens from Colombia is Selena Gomez willing to host in her Los Angeles mansion?”

Selena has long been an advocate for immigrant rights. In 2019, she directed the Netflix documentary Life Without Documents, which tells the story of undocumented immigrant families living in America.
