President Donald Trump declared Sunday his administration will reopen and expand the infamous Alcatraz island prison near San Francisco to house America's most violent criminals and illegal aliens.
"For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering," he wrote on his Truth Social site. "When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That's the way it's supposed to be.
