Selena Gomez broke down in tears over Trump’s mass deportation operations, calling it an attack on her Mexican community. In a now-deleted Instagram video, she tearfully stated, "My people are getting attacked, the children." Gomez, of Mexican descent, apologized emotionally and vowed to "try everything" to support those affected. Critics, including a Republican Senate candidate, called for her deportation, to which she humorously responded, "Thanks for the laugh and the threat." The deportations, touted as the largest in U.S. history, involve military aircraft. Mexico has reported receiving 4,094 deportees since Jan. 20. Gomez remains vocal about immigrants’ rights.
