Reactions to Immigration Policies

Since the start of the Trump administration, quick actions on immigration have been made, including an ICE message detailing the arrest of 956 individuals on Sunday (January 26).

On Monday (January 27), Emilia Perez star Selena shared a video on her Instagram, visibly in tears, expressing: “I just wanted to say that I am very sorry. All my people are attacked. Children, I don’t understand. I am very sorry; I would like to do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do, I will try everything that I promise.”

After facing negative feedback on social media, Gomez swiftly deleted the video and later stated in her story: “Obviously, you cannot show sympathy for people.”
