28 january 2025 в 17:37
Selena Gomez posted a video of herself crying earlier this week, and fans were naturally concerned. On Monday, January 27, the multi-talented artist was seen in a video, clearly emotionally reacting to recent changes made by the Donald Trump administration. Shortly before Selena shared the video, the 32-year-old artist was criticized by conservatives — one of them, named Sam Parker, mocked Selena, demanding her deportation. Learn all about the situation below.
In the social media video, Selena expressed her sorrow over recent deportation policies. In the past few days, there have been reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are conducting raids in cities to track down illegal immigrants.
«All my people are under attack, kids. I don’t understand», - Selena said, wiping tears from her face. «I'm so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise».
Shortly after she shared the clip on her Instagram Stories, Selena deleted the video, but the world had already seen it and spread it on social media.
Selena is a third-generation Mexican-American. She was born in Grand Prairie, Texas. Her mother, Mandy Teefey, is also from Texas. Selena’s grandparents immigrated to Texas from Mexico in the 1970s.
Republican Senate candidate Sam Parker spoke out on X on Monday, January 27, to criticize actress Emily Perez.
«Selena Gomez chose illegals over America because she is a third-generation descendant of Mexican illegals who were granted citizenship under the 87 amnesty», - he claimed in one of his tweets. «She has a sense of entitlement towards America, just like her illegal grandparents. Maybe Selena should be deported too?»
In response to Sam’s taunts, Selena took to her Instagram Stories to write: «Oh, Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker. Thank you for the laughter and the threat».
The Republican again turned to X to acknowledge that he had «harshly taken apart» Selena «today».
«But the truth is, I partly blame millions of white Americans for Selena Gomez: she identifies with another people because she sees America only as an economic zone with money-making opportunities», - he claimed in another tweet. «It's not that special to identify with this, so of course she identifies with Mexico of her ancestors. In this, she is no different from millions of MAGA supporters and conservatives who also do not see any special identity associated with America. In the end, it’s just a big market of ideas and GDP. Color meritocracy! What is there to identify with at all? A piece of paper that says you’re 'American'?»
Sam added in his long subsequent tweet: «Yes, I’m looking at you, Mr. and Mrs. Offended MAGA 'Americans'. I blame you for Selena Gomez not having American identity and loyalty. Until you start to understand what America is — WHO Americans are — people like Selena Gomez will never change»
