Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem acknowledged Monday that she was trying to send a message to migrant gang members and the American people when she was filmed and photographed inside El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison last week.
“People need to see that image,” Noem said of the striking pictures of her surrounded by rows of tattooed inmates standing obediently inside their crammed cells at the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in El Salvador.
“They need to see that the United States is going to use every tool that we have to make our communities safer, that that is a consequence of someone who is a terrorist,”

Saul Alinsky tactics in use here, namely - make conservatives defend/justify their every action which the leftists find "offensive."
I won't soil this salon with profanity, but I think you know what I'm thinking they can do with their manufactured "outrage."

You wanna get emotional over a photograph? Maybe show a photograph of a crime scene that one of these tattooed miscreants created.

I'd do one better. Start executing these terrorists and put that on t.v. 40 yrs ago, I was stationed in eastern Turkey and the city near our site had public hangings for terrorists. Talk about deterrence.

Amen, Kristi. I have no doubt that there are gang bangers who are already self-deporting to avoid that prison. Some things are worse than death.

Real deterrents are important. Hopefully all the criminals the democrats invited in, and the ones that may be thinking of coming, get the message.

Reminds one of a hanging lady judge who taunted a rapist she had sentenced to life in prison. As he was being led out she came out and raised her robe to her knee saying “Take a good look. This is the last time you are seeing something like this “.

How smart can a terrorist be that covers themselves in tattoo's You might as well paint yourself red and place a sign on your back saying " arrest me". Sub-Humans. They are too stupid to be anything else but terrorists.
It's a bit like these fools with their faces filled with punctures and piercings and tattoo's saying "why won't anyone hire me."
Because you are a freaking fool.

I can't imagine that cartel terrorists operating on this side of the southern border would bat an eye at the prospect of winding up at this gulag. Afterall, they've got tons of fentanyl to move up north. However, what would catch their eye is what happens to these gang bangers after they have spent a little time at this gulag where they either die from disease or violence. But, yes, I would suppose that the more weak-minded one will elect to self-deport where they will either die of disease or from violence, anyway.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem only has to defend herself to the left and to the leftist media. No need to bother at all in my opinion. Anyone with half a brain understands what she was doing. Pretending you don't doesn't make you smart.

I just love Kristi...she's just the right kinda woman in this position....I don't like emotional women in positions of power...but this woman...is a crackerjack...with a prize inside....remember the ole days?....I'm a Christian woman...but nowhere in the Bible does it say...I must look past the terror these criminals did in our country so judge broasberg can get a photo-op.....and feel better about himself...or perhaps there was a knock on his back door one night...with instructions....

I[m gonna clean this one up for Lucianne (RIP) remembering her saying that this is a salon, not a saloon.
But it seems to me that Ms. Noem shows more intestinal fortitude than the previous occupant of that office.
And the pic of her at the prison kind of reminds me of the scene in Despirate Housewives where Eva Longoria, dressed to the nines, comes to visit her imprisoned husband to the delight of the other inmates.

If you're a Republican, conservative or Christian, you need to ask for a change of venue when charged in New York or DC. Places like Iran and Gaza would be fairer than NY or DC.

I am a bit late to this conversation, but as someone who started her civilian federal government career as a correctional officer in a high security, all male penitentiary. I found Secretary Noem's appearance offensive. I have no problem showing these inmates in their prison garb which consists of white boxer shorts. HOWEVER, her glam photo with the tight jeans, white long sleeve short hugging her body and the glam hairdo and nice makeup was offensive to those of us women who actually had to work around these pieces of crap. Yeah, we get it - she's a very attractive woman, but give it a rest. Well, I would like to see how she would respond to some inmate jerking off in front of her - oh no, my lipstick is smeared....JOKE!
