Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem toured El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, home to numerous Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gang members deported from the U.S. on Wednesday.

Footage of her visit shows Noem inspecting large holding cells and coming face-to-face with some of the more violent illegals deported by the Trump administration.

While there, she filmed a short Public Service Announcement in which she warned criminal illegal aliens not to come to the United States. Lest you end up in such a hellish prison.

Noem thanked El Salvador and their President Nayib Bukele for a partnership with the United States to bring the terrorists to their country and deliver consequences "for the violence that they have perpetuated in our communities."

"I also want everybody to know if you come to our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you could face," Noem says, standing with her back to the heavily tattooed prisoners behind her.

"First of all, do not come to our country illegally: You will be removed, and you will be prosecuted," she added. "But know that this facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people."

The DHS Secretary shared the video on X and added a very stern warning.

"President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW," she wrote. "If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison."

Even more wild than the fact that Noem filmed this PSA in front of the actual Tren de Aragua and MS-13 terrorists is the realization that the individuals behind her in that prison cell are people that Democrats fought tooth and nail to keep in your community for years.

Think about that for a minute. They would prefer President Trump to be behind bars above the animals behind her.

Noem's visit comes as controversy rages over Federal District Court Judge James Boasberg for essentially ordering the illegal alien deportation flights to El Salvador to be re-routed back home mid-flight. Boasberg tried his best to rescue those folks in the video.

On Wednesday, a federal appeals court denied the Trump administration's request to block Boasberg's order on deportations of suspected Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador via the Alien Enemies Act, which permits removing citizens or natives of a hostile nation without a hearing.

Judge Patricia Millett, during a heated hearing on the matter, argued that "Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act than has happened here."

As RedState's Susie Moore reported, the administration will likely remain undeterred and appeal that ruling to the Supreme Court.

Border czar Tom Homan issued a warning to criminal aliens over the weekend that the law is on the administration's side in this effort to deport violent offenders.

"I don't care what that judge thinks as far as this case. We're going to continue to arrest public safety threats and national security threats," he said. "We’re going to continue to deport them from the United States."

“I don’t care what that judge thinks as far as this case.”

A senior Trump administration official told Fox News that 261 illegal immigrants were deported to El Salvador in mid-March. Most were expelled under the Alien Enemies Act. 

The official noted that over 100 were Venezuelans deported under Title 8, while 21 were Salvadoran MS-13 gang members, including two ringleaders flagged as "special cases" for El Salvador.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
