Trump Directs Federal Agencies to ‘Rebuild and Open Alcatraz’

President Donald Trump directed the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to reopen and rebuild Alcatraz prison to house the “most ruthless and violent” criminals.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump noted that when the United States was “a more serious Nation,” the government did not “hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals.”
