Selena Gomez recently captured widespread attention with a heartfelt video in which she expressed her deep concern over the impact of ICE raids on immigrant communities, particularly highlighting the emotional toll on children. In her poignant message, she referred to the raids as an assault on "all my people," showcasing her empathy and support for those affected.

In a contrasting response, Tom Homan, the former director of ICE and a prominent figure during the Trump administration's immigration policies, stood firmly by the agency's actions. He stated unequivocally that there would be "no apologies" for the raids, emphasizing that ICE's operations are focused on individuals who pose a threat to public safety. Homan urged critics to engage with lawmakers if they have concerns about immigration policies, reiterating that the goal of these operations is to ensure community safety and dismissing claims that families were being unfairly targeted. His comments reflect a broader debate over immigration enforcement and its implications for vulnerable populations in the United States.
