The 32-year-old singer and actress cried as she spoke about Trump’s immigration policies in a video posted on her Instagram Stories on Monday morning.

The video quickly sparked backlash from Republicans and Trump supporters. U.S. Senate candidate Sam Parker even suggested that Gomez should be deported after her emotional reaction.

Now, an insider has told DailyMail.com why Gomez, who is engaged to Benny Blanco, took down the post and decided to “stay out of politics.”

“She realizes she can’t go against a Republican-backed country, many of whom are loyal customers of her Rare Beauty brand,” the source said. “She doesn’t want to push them away.

“She has decided to stay in her own lane after this drama.”

The source explained that Gomez is very “passionate” about immigration but felt like she “could never win” after seeing the negative reaction.

They added that she was only trying to be “helpful” but now thinks her message was lost because she was crying in the video.

“Selena thought she was being real and helpful, but looking back, she realizes the video could have been more powerful without the tears,” they said.

“The tears made her look weak, and that’s not what she meant.

“She is very passionate, and after seeing people criticize her for not donating money to help immigrants, she realized she would be attacked no matter what.

“She only wanted to remind people that most Americans have immigrant ancestors, whether they arrived legally or not.”

DailyMail.com has reached out to Selena’s team for a comment.

Gomez broke down in tears while talking about Mexican migrants in the video.

She sobbed as she spoke about Trump’s immigration policies in a video posted to her Instagram Stories on Monday morning.

“All my people are being attacked, the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t,” she said while crying.

“I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”

Many people on social media criticized her, saying she should use her reported $1.3 billion fortune to take action instead of crying.

Users on X, formerly known as Twitter, called her “shallow” and “narcissistic.”

British journalist Piers Morgan also joined the discussion, writing, “Posting yourself weeping over illegal immigrant criminals being deported is a new level of absurd celebrity narcissism.”

Trump’s former border chief, Tom Homan, also responded to Gomez’s video.

“If they don’t like it, they should go to Congress and change the law. We’re going to do this without apology,” he told Fox News.

“We’re making our communities safer… It’s all for the good of this country. And we’re not stopping. No apologies.”

The video quickly sparked backlash from Republicans and MAGA supporters, including U.S. Senate candidate Sam Parker, who called for Gomez to be deported.

Parker posted on X, “Deport Selena Gomez.”

On another account, he added, “Selena Gomez chose illegals over America because she is the granddaughter of Mexican illegals who got citizenship in the ’87 Amnesty.”

“She feels entitled to America, just like her illegal grandparents. Maybe Selena should be deported too?”

Former Miss California and Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean Boller also criticized Gomez.

“Hey Selena Gomez, why don’t you invite all these people you’re crying about to stay at your mansion? Let them in your home, feed them, bathe them, pay for their school and medical bills,” she wrote online.

“You could have helped them, but you haven’t and won’t… Save your fake tears.”

After deleting the post, Gomez shared a message saying, “Apparently, it’s not OK to show empathy for people.”

Former Miss California Carrie Prejean Boller also told Gomez to use her reported $1.3 billion fortune to help immigrants.

After taking down her post, Gomez wrote, “Apparently, it’s not OK to show empathy for people.”

She also responded to Parker’s call for her deportation with a separate post, writing, “Oh Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker. Thanks for the laugh and the threat.”

Gomez’s paternal grandparents moved to the U.S. from Mexico in the 1970s. After arriving, they had her father, while her mother, Mandy Teefey, is also a U.S. citizen.

The Only Murders in the Building star has spoken about immigration before.

In 2019, she produced a Netflix documentary called Living Undocumented, which followed the lives of undocumented families in the U.S.

At the time, Gomez, who was born in Texas, shared her family’s immigration story. She said her aunt crossed the border from Mexico hidden in the back of a truck.

Her grandparents, Ricardo and Mary, followed soon after. Once in the U.S., they had her father, Ricardo. Her mother, Mandy Teefey, is also a U.S. citizen.

In a 2019 essay for Time magazine, Gomez said undocumented immigration is something she thinks about “every day.”

“When I read the news or see debates about immigration on social media, I feel afraid for those in similar situations. I feel afraid for my country,” she wrote.

The Golden Globe nominee said that, as a Mexican American, she feels “responsible for using her platform to speak up for those who are too afraid to.”

“When I decided to produce a show about undocumented immigrants, I knew I’d be criticized. But no criticism I face can compare to what undocumented immigrants go through daily,” she explained.

She reminded her followers that “fear shouldn’t stop us from getting involved and educating ourselves on an issue that affects millions of people in our country.”
