TECOLUCA, El Salvador (AP) — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday visited the high-security El Salvador prison where Venezuelans who the Trump administration alleges are gang members have been held since their removal from the United States. The tour included two crowded cell blocks, the armory and an isolation unit.

State of play: Noem's visit suggests the administration won't back down on its policy to accelerate mass deportations of Venezuelan immigrants suspected of being gang members, with little to no due process, under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
