The secretary of the DHS should visit the infamous migrant prison on a trip which includes stops in Salvador
Internal security secretary Kristi Noem is expected to visit the Salvador prison which welcomed migrants to the center of the deportation battle playing in the American courts.
On Wednesday, Noem will visit the terrorist confinement center with the Salvadoral Minister of Justice, according to a head of the American Department of Internal Security, and later meet the President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador.
“This week, I head for El Salvador,” Noem said at a meeting of the cabinet at the White House on Monday. “I will be in the prison where we sent [Tren De Aragua] gang members. I will meet the president as well as Colombia and Mexico and talk about the establishment of these relationships so that we can continue to take the people of this country out which do not belong here and bring them home. “”
She said that the president told her about “sending the message worldwide” that people should not illegally enter the United States.

The DHS has deployed an advertising campaign of $ 200 million to tell people who plan to come to the United States illegally not to come and to press on the United States without legal status to leave.
“They should not come here illegally,” said Noem. “So we are in several other countries of the world with a message at the moment, that says that if you plan to come illegally to America, do not do it – you are not welcome. We have a legal process to become an American citizen, and there are consequences if you come here illegally.”
The administration would have sent members of the Venezuelan gang Tren from Aragua to the infamous prison – even if a federal judge ordered officials not to do so.
“America has changed because we put the Americans first,” concluded Noem at the meeting on Monday.

Noem will also meet with leaders of Colombia and Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum later in the week.
“President Trump and Secretary Noem have a clear message for criminal extraterrestrials planning to illegally penetrate America: don’t even think about it. If you come to our country and violate our laws, we will tracked you down,” said the Deputy Secretary of Internal Security, Tricia McLaughlin, in a press release. “This trip highlights the importance of our partner countries to help eliminate violent criminal foreigners from the United States.”
