Tom Homan Snaps Back At Selena Gomez After Hysterical Breakdown Over Deportations

Border Czar Tom Homan reacted to Selena Gomez’s viral breakdown on Fox News Monday afternoon, saying he has “no apologies” and is going to keep moving forward. A video featuring pop star Selena Gomez hysterically crying over President Donald Trump’s immigration policies was deleted shortly after it went viral on Monday.

In the clip, Gomez was distressed, claiming, “All my people are getting 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,” with a Mexican flag emoji displayed on the screen. Despite the emotional plea, Homan remained firm in his stance regarding border enforcement.

Gomez, who has been vocal on immigration issues for years, faced criticism online, with many arguing that she is out of touch with the realities of border security. In response to the backlash, Gomez posted another message on her Instagram Story, saying, “Apparently, it’s not okay to show empathy for people.”

During an interview with Fox News Monday, Homan was asked to respond to Gomez’s now-deleted video and the broader criticism that immigration enforcement is targeting families. “I don’t think we arrested any families,” Homan said. “We’ve arrested public safety threats and national security threats, bottom line. And look, President Trump won the election on this one issue—securing our border and saving lives.”

“What happened on our southern border the last four years is the biggest national security threat this country’s seen, at least in my lifetime, because we’ve got over two million known gotaways. We’ve got a 600% increase in sex trafficking, we’ve got a record number of terrorists crossing the border on the terrorist watch list, and we have a quarter million Americans dying from fentanyl coming across the open border,” Homan continued.

Despite some backlash from celebrities and activists, Homan made it clear that the administration will not be deterred from its mission. “We’re going to do this job, and we’re going to enforce the laws of this country. If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law,” Homan said.

“We’re going to conduct this operation without apology. We’re going to make our community safer. Once we secure that border and continue this operation, you’re going to see fentanyl deaths decrease, illegal alien crime decrease, and sex trafficking decrease.” The border Czar finished, “It’s all for the good of this nation, and we’re going to keep working towards these goals. No apologies. We’re moving forward.”

The Trump administration has been resolute in its approach to immigration since taking office on January 20. Among the key policies reinstated by Trump is the “Remain in Mexico” program, which requires asylum seekers to wait outside the U.S. while their cases are processed. Additionally, the administration ended the use of Biden’s CBP One app and ramped up deportations.

The administration’s efforts have received significant support, with polls from both The New York Times and Fox News showing that a majority of Americans favor deportations of criminals and gang members. Federal agencies such as the DEA and ATF have been given expanded authority to collaborate with ICE to carry out enforcement measures.

Despite the emotional appeals from Gomez and others in Hollywood, the Trump administration remains unwavering. The government has set its sights on large-scale deportations, targeting approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants currently residing in the U.S.
