“Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people,” singer/actress Selena Gomez posted on the social media after deleting a video of herself in which she got emotional over President Trump’s latest executive oders.
Selena Gomez, who is of Mexican heritage, reacted to Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
In one of the videos she has since deleted, the 32-year-old star said, “I just want to say that I’m so sorry. 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.”
As per NBC News, Trump ordered his administration to conduct major immigration raids in three US cities per week. This is an attempt to fulfill his promise of mass deportations and tightening border security.
With the executive order he signed, Trump tends to deport millions of people who are in the country illegally.
He declared illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border a national emergency. Trump planned to send troops to help immigration agents and restrict refugees and asylum.
Tom Homan, former US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director who was appointed the ‘border czar’ by the president’s administration, is just one of the people who supported Trump’s stance on immigration.
“If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table, because it’s not OK to, you know, violate the laws of this country. You got to remember, every time you enter this country illegally, you violated a crime under Title Eight, the United States Code 1325, it’s a crime,” he said.

Fox host Sean Hannity interviewed Hofman and asked him about his thoughts on Gomez’s video. “I gotta ask your reaction to Selena Gomez. I didn’t see any postings of tears for all the women and American citizens murdered, all the people that were raped including children, all the other victims of violent crime…” He added: “I didn’t see any tears on any of those issues. What was that all about?”
Hofman replied that it was the “best monologue I’ve heard you do in years.”
The border czar highlighted that illegal immigrants entering the States has led to the fentanyl crisis and child s** trafficking.
