Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem to Visit Central America, Tackle Illegal Immigration at the Source

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is slated to kick off her 2025 Central American tour next week, in which she will (unlike the former border czar or anyone else in the now-thankfully-defunct Biden administration) see the source of our illegal immigration problem. She will also visit El Salvador's famous - or infamous, depending on your point of view - Terrorism Confinement Center.

Imagine that, an administration official actually doing his or her job.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is planning to visit several spots in Central America next week – including El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center, where hundreds of migrant criminals were famously deported last week.
On Sunday, DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that Noem's trip "underscores the importance of our partner countries to help remove violent criminal illegal aliens from the United States."
"President Trump and Secretary Noem have a clear message for criminal aliens considering entering America illegally: don’t even think about it," McLaughlin said. "If you come to our country and break our laws, we will hunt you down, and lock you up."

That's already underway, roadblocks from liberal judicial activists notwithstanding.

The visit will come over a week after El Salvador released gritty footage of hundreds of illegal aliens being deported and rounded up into jail cells last weekend. The video showed the alleged gang members with their heads in their hands, as heavily-armed Salvadoran authorities surrounded them and transported them into facilities one by one.
A senior Trump administration official confirmed to Fox News that a total of 261 illegal aliens were deported to El Salvador on Mar. 15. The majority of them were deported via the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which allows for the expulsion of an enemy nation's natives and citizens without a hearing.
101 of the migrants were Venezuelans removed via Title 8, while 21 others were Salvadoran MS-13 gang members, the official added. Two were MS-13 ringleaders and "special cases" for El Salvador.

A prison that is actually punishment is something of a novel notion but in the case of the people sent to that prison, it's appropriate. These are not people who can be rehabilitated, for the most part. We should note that the people sent to this El Salvadoran facility, and I use the term "people" in the broadest possible sense, are some of the worst of the people who have come into our country illegally. These are, almost without exception, members of either Tren de Aragua or MS-13, murderous gangs that have been designated as foreign terrorist organizations.

This is how it's done. The legacy media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) will do everything they can to prevent the repatriation of people who are here illegally, and it's astounding that they even object to the removal of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gang members. This is, though, one of these 80-20 issues that they are on the wrong side of. And the Trump administration is just getting started.

The Trump administration's policies are already bearing fruit; attempted illegal border crossings and encounters have plummeted since President Trump resumed office. It's working, folks; it's all working.

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.
