Trump Administration Criticizes Selena Gomez Over Immigration Remarks
The Trump administration has recently voiced its disapproval of Selena Gomez after she shared an emotional video on social media, addressing the ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportations.
The actress and singer, who is of Mexican American descent, had expressed her distress over the treatment of undocumented immigrants, sparking a wave of criticism from the administration.
In a social media post on Friday, January 31, 2025, the White House shared a video spotlighting three victims—Kayla Hamilton, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin—who were tragically killed by individuals without proper documentation.
The video featured heartfelt statements from the victims’ mothers, who directly responded to Gomez and others who have opposed the Trump administration’s stricter immigration policies.
The accompanying caption read:
“Kayla Hamilton, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin were murdered by illegal aliens.
Their courageous mothers had something to say to @SelenaGomez and those who oppose securing our borders.”
In the video, the mothers of the victims—Alexis Nungaray, Tammy Nobles, and Patty Morin—voiced their anger, accusing Gomez of using her platform to support “lawlessness.”
Patty Morin added, “No one has stood up except for us mothers to cry out about our children,” and praised President Trump for reinforcing immigration laws since his return to office earlier in the month.
Gomez had initially shared a tearful response to the ICE actions, describing them as an attack on her community. She later deleted the post, clarifying that she was simply expressing empathy for those affected.
However, the backlash continued, with border czar Tom Homan urging Gomez to direct her concerns to Congress rather than social media.
