The Trump administration has recently responded to a video posted by Selena Gomez, where she was seen in tears over the deportation of undocumented immigrants under the current administration’s immigration policies. In the since-deleted Instagram video, Gomez expressed her sorrow for the situation faced by immigrants and children, leading to a wave of criticism from Trump supporters.
In response to the backlash, Gomez stated, “Apparently it’s not OK to show empathy for people,” highlighting her Mexican-American heritage. Trump shared a video on social media featuring mothers of victims allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants, criticizing Gomez’s emotional reaction as insincere.
The video included heartbreaking testimonies from mothers like Alexis Nungaray, Tammy Nobles, and Patty Morin, whose daughters were victims of crimes committed by undocumented individuals. The mothers expressed support for Trump’s strict immigration policies and criticized those who oppose securing the borders.
The White House has been vocal in its support for victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants, using their stories to advocate for tougher immigration enforcement. Gomez has not responded to these latest comments from the administration.
