LOS ANGELES, Jan 29: Selena Gomez deleted a tearful video about Donald Trump's mass deportation of undocumented immigrants after concerns that it might show "weakness" and potentially "alienate" Republican fans of her beauty brand, according to a source.

The 32-year-old singer and actress posted the emotional clip on her Instagram Stories, where she was seen crying while discussing Trump's immigration policy. In the video, Gomez expressed her sorrow about the treatment of Mexican migrants, saying, "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."

However, the video quickly sparked backlash, especially from Republicans and MAGA supporters. US Senate candidate Sam Parker even called for Gomez to be deported in response. Following the intense reaction, an insider told DailyMail.com that Gomez decided to delete the post. The source explained that Gomez was worried about alienating her Republican supporters, many of whom are loyal customers of her Rare Beauty brand. The source said, "She realizes that she cannot go up against a Republican-backed nation—many of whom are loyal customers of her Rare Beauty brand."

Despite her passion for the topic, the source explained that Gomez felt she could never win after seeing the negative responses to her video. The insider added, "Selena thought that she was being authentic and helpful with her video, but in retrospect, she realizes that it could have been more powerful without the tears."

After receiving criticism for not taking action with her considerable wealth, the source shared that Gomez was simply trying to bring attention to the broader issue. "She only wants people to see that most Americans are descended from immigrants. Many people are citizens because their ancestors chose to come here, whether documented or not," the source said.

Gomez has long been an advocate for immigration reform. In 2019, she produced the Netflix documentary Living Undocumented, which followed the lives of undocumented families in the U.S. In a personal essay for Time that same year, Gomez discussed the issue of undocumented immigration, noting that it is something she thinks about "every day."

In the wake of the video backlash, Gomez shared a message saying, "Apparently it’s not OK to show empathy for people." She also responded to Parker’s call for her to be deported with a lighthearted message, saying, "Oh Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker. Thanks for the laugh and the threat."

The Only Murders in the Building star's comments reflect her continued commitment to raising awareness about immigration issues and using her platform to speak out for those in need.
