Donald Trump has announced plans to rebuild and expand Alcatraz prison to house the “most ruthless and violent offenders,” as part of his push to restore law and order. In a post on Truth Social, he criticized the justice system for being too lenient and blamed “radicalized judges” for slowing deportations.
While critics like Rep. Nancy Pelosi have dismissed the idea as unrealistic, the Bureau of Prisons stated they would follow presidential orders. Whether Alcatraz will reopen remains uncertain, but Trump’s stance on tougher measures is clear.
