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.”
I toured the CECOT, El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center.
President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW.
If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison. pic.twitter.com/OItDqNsFxM
