U.S. homeland secretary to visit El Salvador prison holding deported Venezuelans

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday is expected to visit a mega-prison in El Salvador holding Venezuelans deported by the U.S. as civil rights groups challenge the removals in a high-profile court battle.

Noem, an outspoken proponent of U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, also intends to meet with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said earlier this week.

Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act on March 15 to swiftly deport alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, attempting to speed up removals with a law best known for its use to intern Japanese, Italian and German immigrants during World War Two.

An ensuing legal battle over the move has highlighted Trump's attempts to strong-arm the federal judiciary, a coequal branch of government that serves as a check on executive power.
