All they have left is fear and lies.
While discussing the deportation of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a panel of MSNBC hosts claimed that Black Americans are now in danger of being deported.
Anchor Symone Sanders made the claim on Saturday.
“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 made a ridiculous, baseless claim.
“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.
