President Donald Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz, a long-closed former prison on a small island off the coast of San Francisco.
As the Trump administration steps up its efforts to secure the border and deport illegal aliens, especially criminal illegal aliens, the president has ordered the Bureau of Prisons and several other departments to work together to reopen the famed prison.
“Well, we need detention beds,” border czar Tom Homan said Monday when asked about Trump’s plan for the prison, adding that the use of Alcatraz to detain arrested illegal aliens “should be on the table.”
From the time it opened in the 1930s to being shut down in the 1960s due to high operational costs, Alcatraz housed some of America’s worst criminals, including Al Capone.
