Selena Gomez Fires Back At Senate Candidate Who Said She Should Be ‘Deported’ After She Posted Video Crying About Trump’s Executive Order

Selena Gomez has responded to Senate candidate Sam Parker after he suggested she should be deported for her emotional reaction to Donald Trump’s new immigration policies. The singer, of Mexican-American heritage, posted a tearful video addressing Trump’s executive order that ramped up deportations and halted asylum admissions. Gomez expressed her distress, saying, “All my people are getting attacked. I don’t understand. I wish I could do something.”

Parker criticized Gomez on social media, claiming she had an “entitlement attitude” and should be deported, referencing her family’s immigrant roots. In response, Gomez humorously clapped back on Instagram, thanking Parker for the “laugh and the threat.” Parker shared her response online, further fueling the heated exchange.

The controversy unfolded amid Trump’s sweeping immigration changes, which include deploying troops to the border, limiting birthright citizenship, and appointing Tom Homan as a “border czar” to oversee deportations. Homan has warned that anyone in the U.S. illegally is “on the table” for removal.

Gomez has since deleted her original video, but her brief public reaction has sparked widespread support from fans and reignited debates about Trump’s immigration policies. The incident highlights the tension surrounding these policies and the personal toll they take on those with immigrant backgrounds.
