Donald Trump Announces Alcatraz Will “Rebuild And Open” As Prison
After raising red flags with his administration's plans to deport and jail U.S. citizens abroad, Donald Trump is reopening Alcatraz.
On Sunday, the president announced plans to “rebuild and open” Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, which sits on an island off the coast of San Francisco and has been out of commission since 1963, and operated by the National Park Service since 1972. Trump added, “That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders. In January, Trump issued an order for the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security to reopen a detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba to hold up to 30,000 immigrants deported from the U.S., whom the POTUS described as “the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.”
