U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited El Salvador’s high-security CECOT prison, where deported gang members, including Venezuelans, are being held.
The visit comes as the Trump administration pushes for increased deportations of suspected criminals. Noem is also set to meet with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele to discuss further cooperation on immigration enforcement. The trip is part of a broader effort to strengthen ties with Latin American countries on security and deportation policies.
The visit has sparked controversy, particularly regarding the legality of recent deportations despite court orders.

The government should focus on securing our borders and protecting individual liberties instead of cozying up to foreign leaders and expanding deportation policies that could easily be abused.
This is exactly the kind of tough approach we need—lock them up or send them back where they came from!
