Selena Gomez faced some criticism for the post

Selena Gomez has reportedly lost over 700,000 Instagram followers after posting a video responding to Donald Trump's new executive orders.

President Trump has certainly divided opinion with some amendments he's made to the way the US is run since taking office nearly two weeks ago.

The 47th president has already made changes to immigration laws, while also renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, just to name a few.

Singer Selena Gomez appeared to be upset by the new executive orders, as she shared a video of herself crying online last month.

Trump signed an executive order that is suspected to impact and deport millions, and Gomez said she was fearful for these people.

Appearing emotional, the 32-year-old said: "I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children, I don’t understand. I wish I could do something but I can't. I don't know what to do. I'll try everything, I promise."

The actor deleted the video not long after, adding in a follow-up message: "Apparently it's not okay to show empathy for people."

CritiqueJeu looked into Gomez's social media accounts recently and found the star had reportedly lost over 700,000 Instagram followers in the last 30 days.

As per the Daily Mail, Paul Lenglet, co-founder and editor of CritiqueJeu, said: "Selena Gomez had a great end to 2024, but the start of 2025 has not been so gentle on her.

"The star has been facing many criticisms over her participation and performance on Emilia Pérez, a film directed and filmed in Paris, but with a story that takes place in Mexico."

After analyzing the data on all of Gomez's social media accounts, CritiqueJeu claimed she had a loss of 808,500 followers in the last 30 days.

Former US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Tom Homan was appointed the 'border czar' for the Trump administration and has been tasked with leading the cut down on immigration in the US.

Homan explained how the military has been deployed to help out at the Mexican border, and how Trump is 'sending a strong signal to the world, our borders closed'.

"If you’re in the country illegally, you're on the table, because it's not OK to, you know, violate the laws of this country," he said.

"You got to remember, every time you enter this country illegally, you violated a crime under Title Eight, the United States Code 1325, it's a crime."

Trump's new deportation and immigration policies explained

The 78-year-old stated he will embark on the 'largest deportation programme in history', claiming he will deport 'maybe as many as 20 million' people.

"We will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came," he said.

Who is being targeted for deportation?

The president said migrants accused of crimes will be the first targets of the policy, but that all migrants illegally on US soil could also be subject to deportation.

Collateral arrests

The policy also means that undocumented migrants who haven't been accused of any crime but were found near to people who have could also be arrested in a move known as 'collateral arrests'.

Trump's administration said deportations would begin 'very quickly', although it's likely he will need the help of Congress to provide extra funding to actually carry it all out.

What powers do law enforcement now have?

Trump has ordered the likes of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals and the Bureau of Prisons to trawl through their databases for information on undocumented migrants such as possible locations.

The president has also told federal officials to investigate any local authorities that get in the way of his new policies clamping down on immigration.

On top of that, the administration announced it was revoking a policy which prevented arrests at protected locations such as schools and churches.

Trump's other immigration policies

Refugee travel ban

Prior to his inauguration, Trump vowed to expand his most controversial immigration policies - including the ban on travel for refugees and travellers, particularly those coming from Muslim countries.

"We will seal our border and bring back the travel ban," he previously said. "Remember the famous travel ban? We didn’t take people from certain areas of the world. We're not taking them from infested countries."

Ending birthright citizenship

In another executive order, the POTUS also announced his intentions to end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants.

However, a District Court Judge in Seattle described the potential alteration to birthright citizenship as 'blatantly unconstitutional', preventing it from going into full force without facing immediate legal challenges.

Halting 'all illegal entry' into US

During his inauguration address, the Republican announced his plans to 'halt' all 'illegal entry' into the States.

Another executive order suspended the entry of undocumented migrants to the US under any circumstances claiming that those who do make it to US soil 'are restricted from invoking' provisions like asylum.

'Remain in Mexico' programme reinstated

Another executive order has restarted the 'Remain in Mexico' programme, which requires non-Mexican asylum seekers to await their US hearing dates inside Mexican territory.

The Mexican government is preparing for thousands of deportees it expects to arrive from the US in the coming weeks.
