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.
MSNBC’s Symone Sanders Townsend claims the Trump admin could target black American citizens for deportation:
“If they can snatch students off the street without any pushback or recourse. They will do it to any of us. And to be very clear it’s going to be the people of color.” pic.twitter.com/6VP3gicrVm

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.
