Selena Gomez, once the darling of Disney, has taken a turn for the tearful after President Trump’s directive to deport illegal aliens from the United States. The pop star decided to share her emotional meltdown with a staggering 422 million followers on Instagram, as if her sobbing could actually change the laws of the land. Apparently, the notion of enforcing immigration law hits Gomez right in the feels, leaving her unable to hold back the waterworks.
In her heartfelt Instagram confessional, Gomez expressed her sorrow over what she calls an attack on “her people,” specifically targeting children that she claims don’t understand the situation. Doubtful viewers were left scratching their heads, wondering if Gomez has any grasp of the fact that the children she cries for often benefit from a stable and secure environment. Nevertheless, the Hollywood star said she wishes she could do something, though many might suggest that reading a few books on immigration policy could be a good start.
NEW—Border Czar Tom Homan will not be cowed by sobbing celebrities like Selena Gomez:
“If they don't like it, then go to Congress and change the law…We're going to do this operation without apology. We're gonna make our community safer.”

After facing a torrent of criticism online, Gomez promptly deleted her emotional outburst and replaced it with a message that she believes showing empathy for illegal immigrants should be perfectly acceptable. Who knew Hollywood was the new bastion of border policy? It’s hard to tell if Gomez is more upset about the deportations or the backlash, but the lesson seems to be that emotions trumps law in her world.
In an unexpected twist, Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, took to Fox News to articulate what many law-abiding Americans have been thinking all along. Homan stood firm on the obligation to secure the border—something that Americans overwhelmingly supported during the Trump administration. He pointed out that the issues at the southern border had reached alarming levels of national security threats, including the flow of drugs and potential terrorists crossing over into the United States. One can only assume that he didn’t lose any sleep over Gomez’s teary melodrama.
Homan’s message was crystal clear: If Hollywood celebrities like Gomez and their sympathizers don’t like the laws, they should take their complaints to Congress. He emphasized the point that this operation would move forward without any apologies, insisting that the focus should remain on making communities safer. With border security being a pressing issue, it appears that Hollywood’s tears won’t be enough to drown out the sound of laws being enforced.
