The 32-year-old singer and actress Selena Gomez posted an emotional video on instagram on Monday, expressing her sadness over US President Donald Trump's recent immigration crackdown.
The 'Emilia Perez' actress sobbed as she spoke to her fans, expressing her sincere regret and opinions on the current state of affairs.
"All my people, the children, are being attacked," Gomez stated in the since-deleted video. I don't get it. I apologize; I wish I could do anything, but I am unable to. I'm at a loss for what to do. I swear, I'll do everything I can," she said, clearly crying. "I'm sorry," she said as the description for the video, adding an emoji of a Mexican flag.
Reaction and backlash
Gomez received criticism for her comments after the tearful post, which led her to post another statement on her instagram Story. She wrote, "Apparently it's not ok to show empathy for people," appearing to address the criticism she received after speaking out.
Trump's administration's biggest immigration crackdown
Following a massive immigration operation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Gomez was promoted. In a countrywide raid over the weekend, ICE arrested 956 people, the most since trump took office again.
The operation led to 286 arrests on Saturday, 593 on Friday, and 538 on Thursday, according to a BBC story that cited ICE sources. Numerous human rights organizations and immigration supporters have sharply criticized the raid, which has heightened public discussion.
