Culture reporter<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Donald Trump’s “border tsar” has vehemently defended a drive to deport unlawful migrants after singer and actress Selena Gomez posted a tearful video saying: “All my people are being attacked, and children.”<\/p>\n The star, who has Mexican heritage, sobbed uncontrollably on camera, adding: “I wish I could do something but I can’t.” She captioned her video with “I’m sorry” alongside a Mexican flag emoji.<\/p>\n But Tom Homan, responding to Gomez and others with similar views, told Fox News: <\/a>“If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law. We’re going to do this operation without apology.”<\/p>\n Trump ordered a nationwide immigration crackdown after returning as president, with 956 arrests on Sunday<\/a>, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gomez deleted her original Instagram video but returned to social media to respond to her critics, writing: “Apparently it’s not OK to show empathy for people.”<\/p>\n She later also removed the follow-up message as well.<\/p>\n The Mexican government is preparing for thousands of deportees they expect to arrive from the United States in the coming weeks, with the “Remain in Mexico” policy from Trump’s first-term to be reinstated.<\/a><\/p>\n Homan, a veteran immigration official and ex-police officer<\/a>, told Fox: “We’re going to make our community safer… It is all for the good of this nation. And we’re going to keep going. No apologies. We’re moving forward.”<\/p>\n He said they had only arrested “public security threats and national security threats, bottom line”.<\/p>\n Previously, Homan has repeatedly said that undocumented people caught up in raids of criminals who are without documentation, will be deported too.<\/p>\n![\"Reuters](\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/fa74\/live\/c595ec60-dd6f-11ef-badc-3b0da2437492.jpg.webp\")
