The White House Claps Back At Selena Gomez’s Emotional Immigration Video
On Friday, Jan. 31, Donald Trump’s administration dropped a response to Selena Gomez featuring mothers who say undocumented immigrants allegedly murdered their children. The White House took to Instagram with a video mixing clips of Selena crying alongside various mothers putting her on blast.
One mother straight up told Selena, “You don’t even know who you’re crying for.” Another questioned Selena’s sincerity, saying it’s “hard to believe that it’s actually genuine and real because she’s an actress.”

Selena Goes Viral With Tearful Video About Mass Deportations
If you missed it, earlier this week, Selena posted a now-deleted Instagram video breaking down over the mass deportations. As The Shade Room previously reported, the singer couldn’t believe what was happening and was completely torn up over the ongoing deportations.
“I just want to say I’m so sorry about how many people are getting attacked… children… I don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do.”
She also apologized to those affected and said she was “trying to do everything she could to help.” Her video blew up, sparking all kinds of reactions. But instead of backing down, she responded with, “Apparently its not ok to show empathy for people.”
