Selena Gomez recently posted and promptly removed an emotional Instagram video in response to the nationwide immigration raids that have led to more than 1,000 arrests since Trump's inauguration last week. This action has stirred heated debate on deportation policies.
This development is significant as it underscores the personal significance for Gomez, as her Mexican grandparents immigrated in the 1970s. This comes against the backdrop of Trump's newly implemented expedited removal policy, which has the potential to impact 11.7 million undocumented residents in the US.
