"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," Trump said on Truth Social.
Trump added that the reopening of the prison will be "a symbol of law, order, and justice."
The Alcatraz federal prison in San Francisco was closed in 1963 and has since been operated as a museum.
