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.

“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,” he added. “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.”
Alcatraz opened in 1934 on an island off of San Francisco and housed some of America’s most difficult prisoners, as well as a few of its most famous, including Al Capone.

The Bureau of Prisons told The Associated Press it “will comply with all Presidential Orders” but declined to discuss how to make Alcatraz feasible again.
