Trump’s Homeland Security chief visits El Salvador, Colombia and Mexico to push tough immigration stance
Kristi Noem will visit El Salvador’s mega-prison this Wednesday, which houses the more than 200 Venezuelans who were deported mid-March
The start of the first international trip of the new U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, could not be more symbolic. This Wednesday, she will visit the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), alongside El Salvador’s Justice Minister Gustavo Villatoro. The mega-prison where President Nayib Bukele has imprisoned tens of thousands of alleged gang members has become a symbol of the Trump administration’s hardline stance on undocumented migration and the lengths to which it is willing to go to combat it.
