Tom Homan stands firm against Selena Gomez's tearful plea
Tom Homan, who was in charge of immigration policy in the Trump administration, responded to a heartfelt video by Selena Gomez about deportations. In an interview with "Fox News," Homan stated that the administration does not plan to apologize for its actions.
Immediately after being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump initiated mass deportation operations targeting illegal immigrants. Arrests soon followed, drawing widespread attention on social media. This led to reactions from many prominent individuals, including Selena Gomez.
The singer posted a video on Instagram, where she was visibly upset, expressing her dismay at the authorities' decisions. Her father, Ricardo Joel Gomez, has Mexican heritage. The video quickly disappeared from her profile but was saved on the X service.
I just wanted to say how very sorry I am. All my people are being targeted... even children. I don't understand this. I'm so very sorry. I wish I could help somehow, but I don't even know what I could do. I'll try everything in my power. I promise. - she said.
Tom Homan responds to Selena Gomez's words
Tom Homan, a law enforcement officer who served as the "border czar" in Donald Trump's administration, addressed Selena Gomez's emotional video in an interview with "Fox News." Homan emphasized that the administration does not intend to apologize for its actions, which are aimed at enhancing the country's security.
He added that the administration's actions are legal and focus on deporting individuals with criminal backgrounds. Homan pointed out that the Trump administration is concentrating on potential threats to public and national security, and children are not the focus of these efforts.
Selena Gomez removed her video due to the criticism she faced, which some saw as an admission of error. Megyn Kelly criticized the actress for "crocodile tears" and trying to sway her fans' emotions.
The Trump administration is ramping up deportation efforts, especially in sanctuary cities like Chicago and San Francisco. According to the "Daily Mail," Donald Trump expects the number of arrests to increase to 1,200-1,500 daily.
