Selena Gomez Breaks Down Over Immigration Crackdown Under Donald Trump’s Leadership: ‘My People Are Getting Attacked’

As a lifestyle expert, I find myself deeply saddened and concerned in light of the renewed immigration policies under President Donald Trump’s administration, post his re-election victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. The impact on our nation and its people is profound, and I can’t help but feel a sense of grief for those affected by these changes.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I felt compelled to share an update about Monday’s post from the radiant Emilia Perez, who turned 32 recently. In her heartfelt Instagram Story, she posted a video of herself in tears, accompanied by the simple caption “I’m sorry” and a Mexican flag emoji.

In the video, Gomez expressed her distress, saying, “Everyone of mine is under attack, even the little ones. I just can’t comprehend it. I’m deeply sorry, but there’s nothing I can do about it. I don’t know what to do next. I’ll exhaust every possible solution, I swear.” She struggled to keep her emotions in check throughout her message.

In another Instagram Story, she wrote: “Apparently, it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”

Yesterday, a post was shared by the artist known for “Calm Down,” following news that 956 individuals were apprehended during a widespread immigration enforcement action – the highest number since President Trump assumed office, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as reported by BBC.

The source reports that the 956 arrests were made following a series of events: 286 arrests on Sunday, January 25; 593 arrests on Saturday, January 24; 538 arrests on Friday, January 23.

During his initial four-year tenure, President Joe Biden’s deportation figures were roughly equivalent to those recorded during Donald Trump’s first term, as reported by the Migration Policy Institute and broadcasted through BBC.

Gomez had previously advocated for immigration.

In the year 2019, she created a Netflix documentary series titled “Living Undocumented,” focusing on the personal stories of undocumented families residing in the U.S.

In addition, she shared deeply personal insights about her family’s journey of illegally crossing the Mexican border without documents in a heartfelt op-ed for TIME magazine in October 2019. According to Gomez, it was her aunt who was the pioneer in their family, making the dangerous trip across the border in the back of a truck during the 1970s.

Gomez mentioned that her grandparents had previously settled, and her father was born in Texas shortly afterward. At that point, Gomez expressed her gratitude for being born in the United States, a fact she never forgets.
