Gomez's reaction comes amid the announcement of mass deportations by the Trump administration, which has sparked fear over family separations and affected thousands of undocumented individuals. According to the "Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE)," this Sunday saw 956 arrests, intensifying concerns, reported the agency "BBC."
After deleting the video, Selena shared an additional message that said: "Aparentemente no está bien mostrar empatía por la gente," alluding to the criticism received.
Trump's anti-immigrant stance has materialized in 21 executive actions since he took office, including the elimination of previous immigration policies and the restriction of immigrant rights.
In an essay published in 2019 by Time, Selena wrote: “La inmigración indocumentada es un tema en el que pienso todos los días, y nunca olvido lo bendecida que soy de haber nacido en este país gracias a mi familia y la gracia de las circunstancias.”
The actress, who stars in the movie Emilia Perez, continues to show her commitment to social issues, demonstrating empathy and closeness with the most vulnerable communities.
