  1. TLDR:

    * President Donald Trump’s administration published a response to Selena Gomez’s recent Instagram video, [in which she cried over the crackdown on deportations of undocumented immigrants](https://people.com/selena-gomez-sobs-now-deleted-raw-video-mexican-flag-8780923), on Friday, Jan. 31.
    * In the video, which was published on the official White House Instagram and X accounts, three women whose children were allegedly killed by undocumented people are critical of Gomez, 32. The video is titled “[Moms of Victims of Illegal Aliens SLAM Selena Gomez: You Didn’t Cry for Our Daughters](https://www.instagram.com/p/DFgh96SRIBF/),” with the women’s comments interspersed with clips of Gomez crying. The caption for the video referred to the women as “courageous mothers.”
    * On Jan. 27, Gomez, a Texas-born Mexican-American, published an Instagram Stories video of herself in tears with the text “I’m sorry” and a Mexican flag emoji. The video was deleted quickly but circulated on social media. “All my people are getting attacked, the children,” she could be heard saying through tears. “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. I’ll try everything, I promise.”

  2. Has it been confirmed that those women are mothers of murder victims? Because I would not be surprised if Trump’s administration got actors or people who lied about their daughters being murdered and didn’t vet them

  3. How noble of them, attacking a young woman because she showed compassion for others. Something Jesus Christ would have done. Would they be attacking their Messiah as well? These are ‘Crystal Palace’ christians imo

  4. PLEASE READ. Need to get the word out fast because this can still be stopped.

    Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Brian Armstrong, Mark Andressen, Ben Horowitz, David Sacks (all Tech billionaires) devised a plan called “The Butterfly Revolution” with Curtis Yarvin.

    It is, move for move, EXACTLY what’s happening in America.

    Please watch the YouTube video (made two months ago!… we were warned) that describes it in detail. 18 minutes in is where it really lays it out.

    And read the Manifesto/Plan written by Curtis Yarvin in 2022

    And then tell EVERYONE so we know what we are fighting.

    Also for everyone abroad they are not going to stop with America.

  5. Meanwhile Elon Musk a person who wasn’t elected, wasn’t nominated, assembled some cronies began locking government employees out of their computers.

  6. Just these first eight words in the headline amaze me.

  7. Using taxpayer dollars to respond to private citizens. I hate it

  8. The administration began by targeting only undocumented immigrants with violent or drug-related offenses. But now, ICE is withholding details on these raids, making data increasingly scarce (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/02/01/us/politics/ice-arrests-trump-immigration.html).

    The bigger problem? The administration views all undocumented immigrants as criminals (https://www.axios.com/2025/01/28/trump-immigrants-criminals-white-house-briefing). And now, it’s pushing to give immigration officers access to a database containing information on immigrant minors (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-seeks-access-database-immigrant-minors-washington-post-2025-01-31/).

    Instead of being transparent, the White House is shutting down government websites that provide critical data, choosing propaganda over facts. While there are no official reports yet on what Gomez is mourning, the signs all point to her fears becoming reality. At this rate, Americans may never know the full truth—because this administration would rather produce propaganda videos than provide clear, factual data.

  9. Breaking-the people who claim to be Christians act nothing like their savior. We are led to believe they’d never even go near anyone who looks like him. More at 11.

  11. Thank the Great God Almighty that this country is running so smoothly that they have the time to waste attacking someone with actual feelings…

  13. On brand. Maga are low IQ, immature things. Not Adults, not children. A special type of idiot.

  14. When you realize how scary this actually is and that it won’t be the only time they do this to a celebrity or ordinary citizen. This is scapegoating.

  15. Why did Trump win when all of Reddit hates him? Not being a troll, just asking.

  16. You’ll notice that most of time, they say “god” but never mention Jesus. They know they’re wrong. That’s why they’re so angry.

  17. They have so many other issues to address like figuring out a less expensive way for you all to eat and overall survive that I’m amazed they found the time to address this

  18. I miss when the White House would consider such a thing not worth commenting on.

  20. God I do not need the white house to get into pissy flame wars with celebrities.

    This is all an embarrassment.
