White House Targets Selena Gomez's Deportation Reaction in New Video

Selena Gomez received backlash after posting a tearful video expressing her distress over the Trump administration's mass deportations, which she later deleted. In response, the White House released a video featuring mothers of victims allegedly killed by undocumented immigrants, criticizing Gomez for her emotional display and questioning her authenticity. One mother stated, 'What about our children who were brutally murdered?' while another highlighted the lack of sympathy from Gomez for their losses. Gomez defended her original video, stating, 'Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.' Supporters of Gomez argued that her tears represented compassion for those facing deportation, contrasting with the administration's message. The situation highlights the ongoing divide in public sentiment regarding immigration policies and the role of celebrity voices in political discourse.
