Selena Gomez deleted a video that she posted on Instagram of her sobbing over deportations of illegal immigrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
The post led to Gomez receiving backlash from social media and media personalities alike, including right-wing pundit Tomi Lahren, who wrote on Twitter, “This is why we don’t take our political advice from Disney child stars.” After deleting the video, Gomez wrote on Instagram, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”Â
