Selena Gomez laughs off Republican calling to deport' her over Ice raid video
Briefly

Selena Gomez, reacting to backlash over a video expressing sympathy for victims of Trump's immigration policies, humorously responded to a former Republican candidate's call for her deportation.

The incident underscores the friction surrounding immigration issues in the current political climate, with Gomez's personal stake in the matter being highlighted through her family's immigrant background.
