"Selena Gomez responded to a politician who said she should be "deported" after she posted a now-deleted video of herself crying during recent immigration crackdowns.
Gomez, whose paternal grandparents emigrated from Mexico, initially posted a video to her Instagram Stories on Monday, sobbing amid the mass deportations initiated by President Donald Trump over the weekend. Gomez spoke through tears in the video that "my people are getting attacked."
"I'm so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can't," Gomez said. "I don't know what to do. I'll try everything, I promise."
Instagram Stories are meant to remain visible for 24 hours, but it appeared the video was subsequently deleted after a wave of backlash. Gomez posted, then also deleted, a statement that said "apparently it's not ok to show empathy for people.""
