Actress Selena Gomez, nominated for the Oscars, was recently embroiled in controversy after sharing a video on her Instagram account in which she apologized for being unable to do anything for migrants deported by Donald Trump's government. In her message, the star of Emilia Pérez expressed her desire to help in some way, although she confessed to feeling powerless about it.
American politician Sam Parker reacted to Selena Gomez's words by questioning the possibility of deporting the actress and criticizing the role of the United States in providing welfare, employment, and education to people from other countries. Parker even shared a post calling for the actress's deportation, claiming that Gomez had shown a preference for immigrants over the United States due to her Mexican roots.
In response to this message, Selena Gomez replied ironically to Parker's criticism, thanking him for his words and for the supposed implicit threat. However, the post with her response was deleted from her Instagram account shortly after.
Despite all the controversy, Selena Gomez has continued with her professional projects, such as her participation in the series "Only Murders in the Building," and she continues to maintain a supportive stance regarding the situation of migrants. The actress has shown interest in contributing in some way to help those affected by the U.S. government's immigration policies.
