Families of Venezuelan deportees held in El Salvador’s infamous Cecot prison can petition the Salvadoran government for their release – but the fruitfulness of that process is an open question in a country accused of arbitrary detention by rights groups and even the US State Department.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump used the Alien Enemies Act to deport 238 Venezuelans from the United States—sending them not to their home country, but to a prison in El Salvador notorious for its harsh conditions.
Noem was spotted wearing the flashy bling as she filmed a video in front of a cell full of inmates at the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).

The 31-year-old is among multiple migrants whose family members or lawyers have said were wrongly accused by the Trump administration of gang affiliation and deported to a notoriously strict El Salvador earlier this month.
