In the past, Donald Trump has stated that he intends to initiate the “largest deportation program in the history of the world.”
Users of social media were divided by Selena Gomez’s video in which she wept over deportations; nevertheless, the White House has finally made its position about the matter apparent.
In a video that she uploaded to her Instagram page a month ago, Selena Gomez can be seen sobbing in front of the camera as she reflects on the America that Donald Trump has created.
Trump emphasised that he would take action to lower the number of unauthorised immigrants living in the United States and eventually remove them.
After he was elected president, he signed an executive order that is believed to have an effect on millions of people and to deport them. Gomez is concerned about the welfare of these individuals.
Additionally, she asserted that “her people” were being assaulted, most likely in reference to the fact that she is of Mexican descent.
The video was removed from her account not long after it was uploaded because she received some criticism from other people who use social media.
There has been a response from the White House, which was posted on Instagram on January 31 and included its own video in response.
The following was written in the caption of the page: “Kayla Hamilton, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin were murdered by illegal aliens.”
The courageous mothers of these children had something to say to Selena Gomez and other individuals who are against the idea of securing our borders.
Take a look at this:

Within the video, the mother of Kayla Hamilton, Tammy Nobles, can be heard saying, “What about our children who were brutally murdered and raped and beat to death and left on the floor by these illegal immigrants?”
The person for whom you are crying is unknown to you. Neither of them shed a tear for our daughters.
“Seeing that video, it is hard to believe that it is actually genuine and real because she is an actress,” said Alex Nungaray, Jocelyn Nungaray’s mother. “It is hard to believe that it is actually genuine and real.”
“There are many other children whose lives were taken due to people who crossed here illegally,” I said. “My daughter was a child, and there are many other children.”
“I just feel like it’s a ruse to deceive people and to garner sympathy for lawlessness,” said Rachel Morin’s mother, Patty Morin, in a comment that was also included in the video.
Nobody has spoken up, with the exception of us mothers who have been crying about our children.
It was then that the three individuals unanimously lauded Trump for his efforts to address immigration, and each of them expressed their satisfaction with the fact that he is now the president and is taking a firm stand against illegal immigration.
This video received a variety of reactions on various social media platforms. Some users supported the White House’s decision to respond to Gomez’s criticism, while others continued to criticise the celebrity.
On the other hand, there were many who thought that it was unprofessional coming from the official White House page, and that it was taking advantage of the sorrow of these mothers in order to emphasise political arguments.
UNILAD has reached out to representatives of Selena Gomez in order to obtain a comment.
An explanation of the new immigration and deportation policy implemented by Trump
The individual, who is 78 years old, has declared that he will initiate the “largest deportation program in the history of the world,” stating that he will deport “possibly as many as 20 million” individuals.
“We will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came,” according to the president.
Who might be subject to deportation in the future?
The president stated that the program will initially target migrants who have been accused of committing crimes, but that any and all migrants who are currently present in the United States unlawfully could also be subject to deportation.
Arrests made without prior warning
‘Collateral arrests’ are a term that refers to the practice of arresting undocumented migrants who have not been accused of any crime but who were discovered in close proximity to persons who have been accused of committing crimes.
The Trump administration has stated that deportations will start “very quickly,” but it is quite likely that he will require the assistance of Congress in order to provide additional cash in order to actually carry out all of these deportations.
With what authorities does law enforcement currently operate?
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the United States Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Prisons have been given orders by President Trump to search through their respective databases for information on unauthorised migrants, including possible locations.
Additionally, the president has instructed federal officials to conduct an investigation into any local authorities that obstruct his new rules that are intended to implement stricter immigration policies.
In addition to this, the administration made the announcement that it would be removing a policy that prohibited arrests from taking place in protected sites such as church and school buildings.
The additional immigration policies that Trump has:
Ban on travel for refugees
Trump made a commitment to increase his most controversial immigration policies before to his inauguration. One of these policies is the prohibition on travel for refugees and travellers, particularly those who are coming from countries that are affiliated with the Muslim faith.
According to what he had previously stated, “We will seal our border and bring back the travel ban.” Would you remember the well-known travel ban? People from particular regions of the world were not included in our group. We are not going to remove them from countries that are contaminated.
Stopping citizenship based on birthright
The President of the United States of America made the announcement in another executive order that he intends to terminate the birthright citizenship of children born to unauthorised immigrants.
The prospective modification to birthright citizenship, on the other hand, was deemed “blatantly unconstitutional” by a judge in the District Court in Seattle, which prevented it from going into full force without being immediately challenged in court.
The United States should stop “all illegal entry.”
As part of his inaugural address, the Republican made public his intention to put an end to any and all instances of “illegal entry” into the United States.
In another executive order, the entry of unauthorised migrants into the United States was forbidden under all circumstances. The order stated that those individuals who were able to enter the United States ‘are prevented from invoking’ provisions such as asylum.
The program known as “Remain in Mexico” was brought back.
According to yet another presidential order, the ‘Remain in Mexico’ program has been reinstated. This program mandates that non-Mexican asylum seekers must wait for their hearing dates in the United States within the borders of Mexico.
In preparation for the arrival of thousands of deportees from the United States, the Mexican government is making preparations for their arrival in the coming weeks.
