Selena Gomez sarcastically thanked a Senate candidate for the ‘laugh and the threat’ after he said she should be ‘deported’ for a tearful video sympathizing with Mexican migrants.

The actress and pop star, 32, sobbed on camera in response to President Donald Trump’s mass deportations of undocumented immigrants – a policy he campaigned on ahead of the 2024 election.

She swiftly deleted the video, but sparked backlash from Republicans and MAGA supporters.

One of her most outspoken critics was U.S. Senate candidate Sam Parker, who called for Gomez herself to be deported in response to her video.

Gomez was born in the United States and is an American citizen. Her grandparents fled Mexico seeking a better life.

‘Deport Selena Gomez,’ he wrote on X alongside the tearful video.

‘Selena Gomez picked illegals over America b/c she’s the 3rd gen descendent of Mexican illegals who received citizenship in the ’87 Amnesty,’ he wrote on a separate account which he later shared on his professional profile.

‘She has an entitlement attitude toward America, like her illegal g’parents. Maybe Selena should be deported, too?’

Selena Gomez sobbed as she reacted to Trump’s threat of mass deportations of all undocumented immigrants, which has ignited fears of family separations
