Ammon News - Selena Gomez on Monday posted — and quickly deleted — a video of herself reacting to the immigration enforcement sweeps launched by the Trump administration Sunday that resulted in over 1,000 arrests across the country.
The “Emilia Pérez” star, who is Mexican-American, posted the video to her Instagram story Monday morning. In it, she said through sobs that “all my people are getting attacked.”
“The children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry,” she said. “I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”
Gomez wrote “I’m sorry” next to an emoji of the Mexican flag in text in the bottom corner of her video.
In another post shared to her Instagram story after the first video was posted, Gomez wrote, “apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.” That post has also been deleted. CNN
