Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem delivered a bone-chilling warning to criminal illegal aliens during her Wednesday visit to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison in Tecoluca, and Trump supporters are standing firmly behind her.
In a video shared by Secretary_Noem, she stood before a packed cell of tattooed inmates—some displaying MS-13 gang markings—and issued a stark two-word message: “Leave now.” She thanked El Salvador and President Nayib Bukele for housing deported terrorist gang members, including 238 Tren de Aragua members removed from the U.S., and warned, “I also want everybody to know if you come to our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you could face… First of all, do not come to our country illegally, you will be removed, and you will be prosecuted.
But know that this facility is one of the tools in our toolkit if you commit crimes against the American people”.

Noem, who’s traveling to Colombia on Thursday and Mexico on Friday, called the U.S.-El Salvador partnership “unprecedented” and a “model for other countries,” per apnews.com.
The CECOT, a sprawling maximum-security prison, now holds dangerous deportees under a deal with Bukele, who agreed to accept them for a fee, per bbc.com.
This aligns with Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown, using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport gang members despite legal pushback from judges like James Boasberg, per The Washington Post. For Trump patriots, Noem’s message is a win: with a 94% drop in illegal crossings, 9,000 troops on the border, and cartels deported, her stance proves Trump’s team is relentless. Web reports from newsweek.com confirm the visit, while X users cheer, “Noem’s sending a message—Trump’s border is secure!” Check the video—it’s a powerful stand for American safety.
