WATCH: Hollywood’s Selena Gomez melts down, sobs uncontrollably over Trump’s deportations of illegal aliens
Hollywood’s Selena Gomez on Monday posted – and then deleted – a video of herself on Instagram sobbing uncontrollably as she reacts to President Donald Trump’s deportations of criminal illegal aliens.
“I just want to say that I’m so sorry,” Gomez, 32, says through tears, with a Mexican flag emoji visible.
“All my people are getting attacked. 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. I’ll try everything, I promise.”

“My people?” Aren’t you American?

Facing apparent backlash, she later shared another message on her Instagram Story, writing, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”
Among those slamming the former Disney star is Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, who said on X:
“‘My people?’ Aren’t you American?
“Where was the sobbing over the 100,000 Americans dead from fentanyl poisoning? Where were these tears over the 340,000 children who went missing after being trafficked over our border? Why wasn’t there a breakdown for Rachel Nungary, Rachel Morin, or Laken Riley? I guess those Americans weren’t ‘your people?'”
Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan appeared on television Monday to react to the Gomez meltdown.
“We’re gonna do this job, and we’re gonna enforce the laws of this country,” Homan told Sandra Smith of Fox News. “If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law.”

“We’re going to do this operation without apology. We’re gonna make our community safer.”
“It is all for the good of this nation. And we’re gonna keep going. No apologies. We’re moving forward.”
Gomez produced the Netflix documentary, “Living Undocumented,” which reveals the lives of illegal immigrants in the U.S.
Though she was born in Texas, Gomez previously indicated her aunt crossed the American border from Mexico while hiding in the back of a truck.
