The DHS Secretary's three-day trip aims to bolster international partnerships in combating organized crime and illegal immigration.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem will visit El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center on March 26 to tour the facility and meet with President Nayib Bukele.
The visit follows the recent deportation of over 250 violent criminal illegal aliens, including members of the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs, to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act and Title 8.
Noem's trip emphasizes the Trump administration's focus on international cooperation to address organized crime and immigration challenges.
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has highlighted the deportations as a key tool for intelligence gathering and dismantling gang networks.
Noem will also visit Colombia and Mexico to meet with their leaders and discuss strategies for countering organized crime and illegal immigration.
