Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary, warned illegal immigrants in the U.S. during a visit to El Salvador’s prison for violent criminals. She emphasized that failing to leave voluntarily could lead to deportation and imprisonment. Noem’s visit is part of her broader tour of Central and South America to discuss immigration policies.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem visited the CECOT, El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, where deported members of the Tren de Aragua gang from the U.S. are imprisoned. She issued a warning to illegal immigrants in the U.S. about the possibility of deportation and incarceration in El Salvador if they do not self-deport, stating, “President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW.”
The visit by Secretary Noem signifies a strong stance on immigration enforcement and cooperation with El Salvador. It highlights the U.S. approach to deporting violent criminals while indicating potential reforms in immigration policy. As collaborations strengthen between the two nations, the implications for illegal immigrants remain profound, with legal frameworks being tested. Noem’s forthcoming meetings in Colombia and Mexico further emphasize a strategic regional focus on immigration and security issues.
