Selena Gomez: White House attacks her because of tears video

In an unusual step, the White House under Donald Trump (78) has targeted the actress and singer Selena Gomez (32). , which is critical of an emotional Instagram post by the actress, in which she cried about the treatment of Mexican Americans and immigrants under the new government.

In the video produced by the White House, three women have their say – Tammy Nobles, Alexis Nungaray and Patty Morin. Her children were presumably killed by people who were illegally in the United States. The women doubt the sincerity of Gomez in the clip. “It is difficult to believe that the video is real and sincere because she is an actress,” says Nungaray in it. Morin goes even further: “I think it is a trick to deceive people and to win sympathy for lawlessness.”

The video has caused considerable criticism in the United States because it is extremely unusual that the White House attacks individuals through its official channels that criticize political decisions. The actress Eiza González (35) reacted horrified: “What happens to the hell here? How can the official side of the White House post something like that?”

The famous US lawyer also instrumentalization of the tragedies: “Why does the official account of the White House use a tragedy for clicks and views? Selena can absolutely mourn Riley and at the same time feel torn apart.”

The dispute broke out against the background of the recently signed, so -called Riley Act, named after a nursing student from Georgia, who died after a deal with an illegally traveled man. The new law extends the authorities’ powers to quickly deport people without valid residence papers.

The new immigration regulations allow raids in schools and churches as well as the suspension of asylum hearings. In addition, a popular immigration app on which appointments had previously been made to the US limit police was abolished.

Gomez, who himself has Mexican roots, is increasingly exposed to hostility from the right political spectrum due to her empathetic attitude towards those affected. For example, a former Senate candidate even called for her immediate deportation – although both the actress and her parents were born in the United States. Gomez reacted with humor and shared her Instagram story: “Thanks for laughing and threat.”

Previously, Gomez caused a sensation against the background of current political developments in the USA with a now deleted Instagram video. In it, she desperately broke out in tears and noticed: “All of my people are attacked, the children. I don’t understand.” I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. “
