Trump orders feds to reopen notorious US prison Alcatraz

President Donald Trump has called for the reopening of notorious prison and now historical landmark, Alcatraz, in San Francisco, California.
Trump said that Alcatraz should be rebuilt larger and reopened to house the country’s most ruthless and violent criminals.
The US President made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday.
Trump said he is directing the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and FBI to reopen a “substantially enlarged and rebuilt” Alcatraz, “to house America’s most ruthless and violent offenders.”
“We 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,” he said in the post.
“The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!,” part of his statement read.
According to Trump, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat criminal offenders for too long.
He stated that the US did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm when the country was a more serious nation in times past.
Located on a 22-acre spit of rock, Alcatraz opened in 1934 but was shuttered after 29 years.
Alcatraz Island today is a popular San Francisco tourist attraction operated by the National Park Service.
