Kristi Noem Slammed For Filming Truly Disturbing Video In Front Of Migrants At El Salvador Prison

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sparked outrage after sharing a video in front of detainees at an El Salvadoran prison, warning migrants that "we will hunt you down."

Homeland Security Secretary and puppy killer Kristi Noem is under fire after filming a sociopathic video in front of caged detainees in El Salvador while threatening to hunt them down.

Or, at least she appeared to—the video contains a very obvious glitch that makes it clear the video was faked with a greenscreen. Guess Noem isn't as tough as she'd like us to believe.


In any case, the video was supposedly shot during Noem's visit to the notorious CECOT prison camp in El Salvador where the Trump administration has been sending supposed migrants it alleges—without evidence or due process—are gang members.

After making sure to place only detainees with prominent tattoos in the background to ensure her and Donald Trump's suggestible fans would be easily desensitized to a cabinet member (supposedly) standing in front human beings in a cage, Noem delivered a pointed message to immigrants:

“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 that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people.”

Which is an interesting take, given that those shipped off to El Salvador have included legal immigrants with refugee status, which is a violation of both U.S. and international law and in some cases a war crime.

Most have also been denied due process—which is a violation of the Constitution—and hence have not been convicted of any crimes. So Noem's claim that all the people caged behind her like zoo animals are criminals is about as plausible as the shoddy editing.

But you know how Trump and his colleagues roll—constitutionality and rule of law are tedious and inconvenient, plus they tend to bore the pants off the red hat-wearing "patriots" watching Fox News back home.

This case does seems to be somewhat of an exception, however. Because Noem's video has struck people as so unbelievably ghastly that it has left even some Trump supporters in shock.



Once this regime collapses, as all fascist regimes eventually do, it sure will be fun to see all these people rot in prison for the rest of their lives just like so many of the Nazis they adulate. May the warm memories of wearing a $60,000 watch to a concentration camp be a comfort to Kristi when that day comes.
