Americans Outraged at Pop Singer – Here's Why!
American authorities have intensified their crackdown on undocumented immigrants following Donald Trump's presidency. Large-scale inspections have led to the arrest and deportation of undocumented immigrants, with many being sent back to their home countries on military planes. Reports have surfaced that detainees were allegedly treated inhumanely, with claims that they were handcuffed and denied water during transport.
Prominent singer, actress, and producer Selena Gomez has publicly condemned the authorities' actions, calling their treatment of undocumented immigrants "inhumane" and "brutal." She shared a tearful video on social media, questioning the treatment of immigrants. The video quickly became controversial, prompting a response from the White House, which reposted the video on its official Twitter handle with the caption: "Selena Gomez’s reaction to undocumented immigrants' situation."
This sparked widespread debate, with many Americans criticizing Selena Gomez. Some questioned whether she was aware of the crimes committed by some undocumented immigrants. Critics accused her of showing sympathy for illegal immigrants while remaining silent on crimes allegedly committed by them, including violent offenses.
Who is Selena Gomez?
Selena Gomez began her career as a child actress and later became a successful singer, actress, and producer. Though she was born and raised in the United States, her ancestors migrated from Mexico. Recently, the Trump administration deported Mexican criminals who were living in the U.S. illegally. In response, Selena Gomez posted an emotional video on Instagram, stating, "My people (Mexican immigrants) are being attacked. Children and adults alike are suffering. I want to help, but I don’t know how. However, I promise to do whatever I can."
Following intense backlash from social media users, Selena Gomez later deleted the video.
