From Fox News: MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend warned on Saturday that “people of color” will be “next” after the Trump administration deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old illegal immigrant living in Maryland, was deported to the El Salvadoran megaprison “Terrorism Confinement Center” (CECOT) last month, and officials acknowledged in court his deportation was an administrative error, although now some top Trump officials say he was correctly removed and contend he’s a member of the notorious MS-13 gang, which Abrego Garcia’s attorneys deny.

On “The Weekend” Saturday, Sanders-Townsend discussed Abrego Garcia’s case with her guests, Michael Steele and Rep. Glen Ivey, D-Md., and cautioned that the Trump administration’s deportation efforts wouldn’t end with illegal immigrants.

Sanders-Townsend referenced an op-ed by NAACP Legal Defense Fund President Janai Nelson which argued that the Trump administration’s “lawlessness” should alarm everyone because it demonstrates how democracies are dismantled, “brick by brick.”


She then wildly claimed, “Because 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. To be very clear, it’s going to be the people of color, and vulnerable communities that are next in line.”

Rep. Ivey chimed in, saying, “I think that’s right. That’s certainly part of why the African-American community is so strongly behind supporting Kilmar. As you just said, if they are going to whisk them away, what are they going to do with us?”

“Fear mongering at its finest,” quipped radio host Jon Justice, who shared a video of the exchange on social media.
