The White House released a video featuring the mothers of victims who were killed by illegal immigrants in response to Selena Gomez’s viral video of herself crying over the Trump administration’s deportations.
Gomez’s original video showed her openly weeping due to President Donald Trump’s policies. “I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry,” she said in the video posted last week. “All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”
The pop star quickly deleted the Instagram Stories post due to backlash, then followed up with the response, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people,” which she also deleted.
The official White House post is called “Moms of Victims of Illegal Aliens SLAM Selena Gomez: You Didn’t Cry for Our Daughters.” It included pieces of Gomez’s original video alongside reaction interviews with three women, known as Angel Moms, whose children were killed by illegal immigrants.
