Kristi Noem Visits El Salvador Prison where America Sent Alleged Criminals

Thursday, March 27, 2025

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wasted taxpayer funds on Wednesday by visiting the high-security El Salvador prison where Venezuelans who the Trump administration alleges are gang members have been held since their removal from the US. The tour included two crowded cell blocks, the armory, and an isolation unit. Noem's trip to the prison - where inmates are packed into cells and never allowed outside - comes as the Trump administration seeks to show it is deporting people it describes as the "worst of the worst."

When it comes to wasting US taxpayer money for photo ops and propaganda, the Trumpf junta are gold medal winners.

We're the baddies.

That crazy woman with too much makeup, a Rolex and a huge diamond ring, posting a reel in front of kidnapped prisoners in a foreign detention facility is something to see. Thanks again, MAGAdiots! Just another giant goosestep closer to the MAGANazi dystopia you voted for!

I was surprised to see that Kristi Noem can even be photographed or walk around in daytime. Did anybody notice if the puppy killer cast a shadow or a reflection in a mirror? More importantly, Trumpf has been an excellent custodian of American taxpayer dollars. This week the Dotard uselessly sent the Vances to Greenland and Noem to visit prisons south of the border. Too bad they couldn't stay at Trumpf hotels to make his day.

With your Flying J work experience you would be a hit in that. El Salvador prison.

Kristi Noem was the same deplorable sorry excuse and waste of DNA that jumped back and forth over the line in the library that straddles the US and Canada (for 100 years) and acted like a 5 year old. Pathetic.

You know how horrible this entire thing is? One of the men that was grabbed and flown to El Salvador without a chance to challenge this government's actions had THIS tattoo. THAT was the excuse used to tie him to Tren de Aragua. THAT.

BTW - the name on the tattoo is his brother who is autistic. Neri Alvarado Borges, the man that is now in El Salvador, has no criminal record in the US or in Venezuela. He is, by all accounts, someone any country would be lucky to have.

Wow.
So I refreshed and this was all covered by Chris Hayes and is up on this thread! Ok then - I'll just shut up! (just kidding - of course)

Noem's probably making sure they're properly mistreated ... like her dogs.

Noem must have got a kick knowing all those men in the cell were staring at her. And tomorrow the dignified and competent Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum is sacrificing her time to meet this puppy-killing harridan who childishly taunted Canada at the border. President Sheinbaum knows a racist when she sees one. I hope she doesn't sick like many of us:

Her staged propaganda photo op, taken in front of prisoners forced to pose, is something the Vietcong did and ISIS still does.

Trump and his confederacy of dunces are making America a pariah around the world.

Now that they have her ...

How much would they charge America to keep her?

They can keep the watch as a down payment on her housing.

That's exactly what Republicans voted for!
And they are wallowing in it.

BTW, Noem violated Geneva Convention rules against using prisoners as propaganda.

Noem should be black bagged and taken to The Hague to stand trial.

Trial, that's something Republicans don't believe in anymore.

That's a $50,000 Rolex on her wrist....WINNING.

It's so in your face it's Nauseating. MAKERS AND TAKERS...which is which?

Oligarchy. The Rule of everything by unelected and predatory --------.

I'm surprised she and Trump haven't found a way create an income stream for themselves from the lawless repression of whomever is a convenient target?

If they can do it in El Salvador they can do It here.

Count on it.

Kristi Nome told all them losers in the cell that when she gets back home, she's killing all their Pitbull's.

Noem has a propensity for killing anything that annoys here. Her puppy, her goat, three horses - are what we know of. Who decides to kill a goat, shoots it, ends up wounding it, has to go back to her pickup truck and get another round? Such humane planning.

Nothing but class and the "best" people for this current President, amiright?

Are you saying the US is at war? I don't think even the current administration would go that far.

Et Tu, you also believe we are at war against migrant gangs?

Strange you were defending migrant gangs not two weeks ago, going so far as blaming the victims.

"They all have a mental illness TDS."

Thank you Dr Idgit

A health condition that is a negative reaction to your environment of is not an illness.

A depression caused by very depressing things is actually a very normal human condition. Animals get depressed too. Usually just before Christie Noam shoots them in the head. So. For very good reasons!

Interestingly TDS also stands for The Daily Show

Which regularly skewers Trumpy and his criminal negligent F Troop on a nightly basis. Making the depression a little lighter just a little more bearable.

Terrorists, eh?
What did they terrorize? Oh that's right, there was no hearing or formal list of charges.

They terrorized poor Trumpy's fragile white nationalist ego.

So no charges are needed. The Lyin King has spoken. Let it be said let it be done. And stop asking questions or off with your heads!

Neri Alvarado terrorized Trump and the idiot MAGAts by having a rainbow colored Autism tattoo with his brother's name on it. They must've thought "holy shht! He's a member of one of the worst gangs and is gay! Get him outta here! He could do gay stuff to any of us any time!"

Maybe that is why Pres Trump nominated photogenic, media-friendly, people for his Cabinet?

They look good and present themselves well on media.

On the other hand, at what point will Pres Trump revert to his prior self and just say, You're Fired!"
