Selena Gomez stirred up social media when she posted, then quickly deleted, a heartfelt video of herself crying about recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests. With tears going down her face, the singer and actress opened up on her Instagram Story, saying she felt helpless watching deportations tear families apart. “I wish I could do something but I can’t,” she lamented. “I’ll try everything, I promise.”

Following her post, conservative critics accused the “Only Murders in the Building” star of going too far in showing support toward undocumented immigrants. After removing the original video, she posted another story stating, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.” This comes after political and social tensions have raised since President Trump’s inauguration last week, with ICE increasing deportation efforts.

Selena Gomez has never been shy about vocalizing her stance on immigration. At the Los Angeles premiere of her Oscar-nominated film “Emilia Perez,” she revealed her commitment to supporting her community. Despite the backlash from the conservatives and online trolls, Selena seems determined to keep reminding fans and people that a little compassion can go a long way.
