<p>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&#8217;s administration deporting black American citizens.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;people of color and vulnerable communities &#8230; are next in line.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;We&#8217;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,&#8221; Sanders began. &#8220;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&#8217;s cinematic in a sense. But really, the realistic way in which democracies die, is it is dismantled brick by brick, piece by piece.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Sanders continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m paraphrasing here. But to me, that is why Kilmar Abrego-Garcia&#8217;s specific case, the case of the gentleman who&#8217;s a make-up artist out of California who was also sent to that prison, that&#8217;s what the more — the 75% of the folks who have been sent, the men who have been sent there that don&#8217;t have criminal records — that is why this is so important.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sanders then pivoted to suggest that if illegal immigrants could be deported, it would not be long before citizens could also be deported.</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; she declared. &#8220;To be very clear, it&#8217;s going to be the people of color, and vulnerable communities that are next in line.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) agreed with Sanders&#8217; assessment, saying that was why the black community appeared largely supportive of bringing Abrego-Garcia back to the United States.</p>
