Selena Gomez faced backlash from Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, after posting a tearful Instagram video about the administration’s immigration crackdown.
She expressed concern for the children and families affected by the arrests, which Homan defended as necessary for national security.
Homan emphasized that the operations targeted public safety threats, not families, and argued the policies would reduce crime, fentanyl overdoses, and human trafficking. He also told critics to take their concerns to Congress.
The exchange highlights the ongoing debate over immigration policy, with Gomez advocating for compassion and Homan focusing on security concerns.
