Kristi Noem Faces Scrutiny Over $60K Rolex During El Salvador Prison Visit

The Homeland Security Secretary's luxury watch draws criticism as she highlights strict immigration enforcement at a controversial high-security facility.

Kristi Noem visited El Salvador's CECOT prison to emphasize the Trump administration's tough stance on undocumented immigration and gang-related crimes.
During the visit, Noem warned undocumented immigrants of potential deportation and imprisonment, using the prison as a symbol of consequences for illegal entry.
Observers identified a gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, valued at $60,000, on Noem's wrist during the visit, sparking questions about her financial transparency.
Critics on social media questioned how Noem, with a government salary, could afford the luxury watch, while others defended her personal financial history.
The Department of Homeland Security has not commented on the controversy surrounding Noem's watch or the broader implications of her visit.
