MSNBC anchor Symone Sanders claimed on Saturday that the deportation of Salvadoran citizen and suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego-Garcia was just one step on the road toward President Donald Trump�s administration deporting black American citizens.
Sanders began with an article written for The Nation earlier in the week � in which the author had suggested the deportation of criminal aliens, designated terrorists, and gang members effectively heralded the fall of democracy in
the United States � and argued that �people of color and vulnerable
communities � are next in line.�

�We�ve been talking about this all week, but Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, she penned an op-ed in The Nation this week,� Sanders began.
�And her op-ed talked about that we think democracies are � the way they die
is dramatically, through these wars, and blood is shed, and it�s cinematic in
a sense. But really, the realistic way in which democracies die, is it is dismantled brick by brick, piece by piece.�
�And she says that what we are seeing now with the lawlessness from this administration are really the canaries in the coal mine gasping for air,� Sanders continued. �I�m paraphrasing here. But to me, that is why Kilmar Abrego-Garcia�s specific case, the case of the gentleman who�s a make-up
artist out of California who was also sent to that prison, that�s what the
more � the 75% of the folks who have been sent, the men who have been sent there that don�t have criminal records � that is why this is so important.�
Sanders then pivoted to suggest that if illegal immigrants could be deported, it would not be long before citizens could also be deported.
�If they can do it to them, if they can snatch students off the street
without any pushback or recourse, they will do it to any of us,� she
declared. �To be very clear, it�s going to be the people of color, and vulnerable communities that are next in line.�
Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) agreed with Sanders� assessment, saying that was why
the black community appeared largely supportive of bringing Abrego-Garcia
back to the United States.
