Two completely separate issues going on here.

1. An artist is expressing the emotion of a policy that broadly speaking is taking people, many settled and working, not criminal, dividing families, making some terrible errors.
Thats what artists do.

2. Serious, dangerous criminals are arrested and held. This is justified and good news as long as due process is eventually delivered.

She was vociferous in her condemnation of Trump’s deportation orders in January’25 and posted her tears on Insta.

Donald Trump's "border tsar" has vehemently defended a drive to deport unlawful migrants after singer and actress Selena Gomez posted a tearful video saying: "All my people are being attacked, and children."

The star, who has Mexican heritage, sobbed uncontrollably on camera, adding: "I wish I could do something but I can't." She captioned her video with "I'm sorry" alongside a Mexican flag emoji.

But Tom Homan, responding to Gomez and others with similar views, told Fox News: , external"If they don't like it, then go to Congress and change the law. We're going to do this operation without apology."

Well now today, 238 members of the feared Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua are deported from America and hauled into El Salvador's notoriously tough Terrorism Confinement Centre - as Trump delivers on election promise.

I say well done Trump. Getting rid of violent gang members making America that bit safer.
