President Donald Trump ordered the rebuilding and eventual reopening of the infamous Alcatraz island federal prison located off the shores of San Francisco, California, which he said will “house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.”
In a Truth Social post, Trump said he directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons, as well as the Department of Justice, FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security, to “reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt Alcatraz.”
“No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. 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,” Trump said.
He added that the reopening of the Alcatraz prison will be a “symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE,” as the country “will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally.”
