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.

Selena Gomez on Monday posted – and quickly deleted – a video of herself reacting to the immigration enforcement sweeps launched by the Trump administration Sunday, which resulted in nearly 1,000 arrests across the country.
