On Saturday, MSNBC anchor Symone Sanders reportedly expressed bizarre concerns that the deportation of Salvadoran citizen Kilmar Abrego-Garcia could set a dangerous precedent for the deportation of Black American citizens, in spite of the fact that their is no evidence whatsoever to back up her assertions.
Sanders referenced an article from The Nation, which argued that targeting criminal aliens and gang members signals a decline in democracy in the United States.
During her segment, Sanders highlighted the op-ed by Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, who warned that democracies often erode gradually rather than through dramatic events.
She emphasized that the current administration’s actions are early warning signs of this dismantling.
Sanders pointed out that many individuals deported do not have criminal records, which raises alarms about the potential for broader deportations.
She stated, “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.”
Sanders tried to claim that vulnerable communities, particularly people of color, are at risk of being targeted next.
Far-left Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) echoed Sanders’ sentiments, suggesting that the Black community’s support for bringing Abrego-Garcia back to the U.S. stems from these concerns about deportation policies.
The discussion reflects a broader anxiety regarding immigration enforcement and its implications for civil rights and community safety.
Overall, Sanders’ commentary underscores conspiratorial fears among the far left that aggressive immigration policies could extend beyond undocumented immigrants to affect American citizens, particularly those from marginalized groups.
This ongoing debate highlights the intersection of immigration policy and social justice, raising important questions about the future of democracy and civil liberties in the U.S.
