Singer Selena Gomez posted a video on her Instagram story on Monday (27), crying after the arrest of 956 people during an immigration operation ordered by Donald Trump.
After the arrest of 956 people, including adults and children, during a national immigration operation, Selena Gomez, 32, recorded a video expressing her sorrow over the arrests of immigrants authorized by Donald Trump on Sunday (26).
The clip was posted on the singer’s story with the caption “Sorry” and an emoji of the Mexican flag.
“My people are being attacked, the children. I don’t understand,” she said, sobbing. “Sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” she continued while wiping away her tears.
Selena Gomez was born in Texas, USA, but her father is of Mexican descent. She faced a series of attacks on her social media and ended up deleting the video. She then posted a story saying: “Apparently, it’s not allowed to show empathy for people.”
President Donald Trump said that the situation at the Mexico-U.S. border is a “national emergency” and authorized the armed forces to patrol the border.
According to the BBC, around 1,400 people have been arrested since Thursday (23). Another thousand have been repatriated or deported.
The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program has been suspended, and refugees will only be allowed to enter the country if it is “in alignment with the country’s interests.”
