Noem was seen wearing a an 18-karat gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, as first reported by the Washington Post, at the prison where the Trump administration flew 261 Venezuelans to El Salvador, alleging they were members of a Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua without due process under the Alien Enemies Act.

The homeland security secretary’s choice of a gold Rolex watch has been criticized as insensitive to the harsh reality of mass imprisonment and deportation.

Noem toured crowded cells, the prison armory, and isolation units within the facility, which has drawn international attention.
