Trump: Turning Alcatraz Into a Prison Once More

President Trump declared on Sunday his intention to restore and enlarge Alcatraz, the former jail located on an island within California’s San Francisco Bay that closed down in 1963 and now serves as a major tourist attraction. Posting on Truth Social, Trump instructed various government bodies—such as the Bureau of Prisons, the Justice Department, the FBI, and Homeland Security—to collaborate on reviving and reconstructing this site into a location meant for housing America’s “toughest and most dangerous” criminals. AP reports. Trump contended that this action would reinstate "Law, Order, and JUSTICE" and function as a national emblem:

· “America has suffered for far too long at the hands of ruthless, violent, and recidivist offenders—those who bring nothing but anguish and pain to our communities,” he posted on Truth Social. “In earlier eras when our nation was truly committed to justice, we didn’t shy away from incarcerating the most dangerous individuals, keeping them isolated from potential victims. This is how things should remain.”

Alcatraz, previously housing notorious prisoners like Al Capone and James "Whitey" Bulger, is currently under the administration of the National Park Service. It remains unclear how precisely Trump’s order will be implemented. The facility was shut down because operating costs were significantly higher compared to those of mainland prisons. Fox News Reports indicate that President Trump’s directive arises during ongoing legal battles concerning his attempts to transfer suspected gang affiliates—as well as allegedly some U.S. citizens—to a prison facility in El Salvador without following established judicial procedures. At this point, neither federal officials nor California authorities have provided updates on whether Trump's instruction will lead to concrete alterations.
