A viral video of Gomez in tears over mass deportations prompted Sam Parker, a failed politician, to threaten her online.

Selena Gomez thanked Sam Parker, a 2018 Republican Senate candidate from Utah, for the 'laugh and the threat' after he wrote on X, 'Deport Selena Gomez,' in response to her emotional video posted earlier this week seemingly reacting to President Donald Trump's recent immigration crackdown earlier this week.

In a post shared to her Instagram Stories, Selena Gomez hit back at a politician who called for her to be deported after she broke down in tears over the mass immigration raids in a social media video.
