Karoline Leavitt, Press Secretary for President Trump, pushed back during a press briefing on claims made by MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend. Sanders warned that “people of color” could be next following the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a 29-year-old illegal immigrant sent to El Salvador’s megaprison, CECOT. While the administration first called it an error, officials now say Garcia may be tied to MS-13, a claim his lawyers deny. As Democrats and media voices raise alarm, the Trump team accuses them of spreading fear for political gain.

00:00Also, thank you so much, Caroline, for having us here.

00:02Also on the topic of immigration, not only do I think the legal immigrant community welcomes what the president's doing, but also the black community.

00:10So I would love to get your reaction to recent comments made by Simone Sanders, who said that people of color would be next in line for deportation under this president.

00:18Now, that was a revelation to me and probably many others in the black community, being a lifelong American.

00:22I'm not really sure where Tom Homan would send me other than my childhood home in Augusta, Georgia.

00:26But why do you think this fear mongering is being directed at the black community over the issue of immigration?

00:32And do you think it's offensive to conflate illegal aliens who are rapists, traffickers and sexual abusers with law abiding citizens in the black community?

00:41It's absolutely insane. And it is racist what she is saying.

00:45The president intends on deporting illegal alien criminals who broke our nation's laws and are not only impacting communities across the country,

00:54but in particular communities of color in our inner cities.

00:58You remember the story out of New York City where young minority children were kicked out of their public school to make room for illegal immigrants to sleep on the floor of their cafeteria.

01:09That is putting America last. Doesn't matter your race, your religion or creed.

01:13If you are a law abiding American citizen, President Trump is going to put you first.

01:17Shame on Simone Sanders for saying that.

01:20She knows better, but she's trying to fear people and to dislike this president with lies.

01:25But I think the American public are much smarter than she believes that they are.

01:30And that's why they reelected President Trump.

01:31You know, also, thank you so much, Caroline, for having us here.

01:34You know, also on the topic of immigration, not only do I think, you know, the legal immigrant community welcomes what the president's doing, but also the black community.
