On January 27, 2025, Selena Gomez, the 32-year-old American singer and actress of Mexican heritage, shared an emotional video on her Instagram account expressing her distress over the mass deportations of Mexican immigrants under President Donald Trump's administration. In the since-deleted video, accompanied by a Mexican flag emoji and the caption "I'm sorry," Gomez tearfully said, "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." Following backlash from some social media users, she deleted the video and later posted, "Apparently it's not ok to show empathy for people." Gomez's response comes amid reports of nationwide immigration raids and deportations.
