    Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross quickly backpedaled when presented with the latest details about deported Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, claiming that the real issue was not his individual case, but the larger picture.

    Cross made the comments during a panel discussion on CNN, responding to Shermichael Singleton�s point regarding Abrego-Garcia and whether or not the federal government should have deported him to El Salvador.

    Singleton laid out a series of reasons that he believed Abrego-Garcia�s deportation was not only justifiable, but a �national security issue,� noting among other things that Maryland gang units had determined that he was a
    member of the violent Salvadoran street gang MS-13. In addition, more recent reports showed a history of allegations of domestic violence against his
    wife.

    Noting that due process was obviously a concern, Singleton added, �I think there�s absolutely enough here to send this guy somewhere else. One, he�s already broken the law. We�ve already established that. Now you do have evidence that suggests he was a member or is a member of MS-13, he�s also a serial abuser. This is not the type of individual I don�t think any one of us would want in our country: he should be deported.�

    Despite the fact that many Democrats have seized on Abrego-Garcia�s case � including Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who has tried unsuccessfully to persuade Salvadoran authorities to either release Abrego-Garcia from custody
    or at least allow him visitation � Cross jumped in then to claim that it was not really about him.

    �We can�t make it about Kilmar,� she complained. �That�s just one person.�

    �But that�s the case we�re talking about,� Singleton pushed back.

    �It is,� Cross agreed, but then complained that the discussion should be
    about �the macro, not the micro.�

    Cross went on to claim that President Donald Trump�s administration has been �indiscriminately� rounding people up for deportation.

    �They are randomly deporting people without due process,� she claimed.
