Trump stated that “the reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE” in a post that was shared on Truth Social on Sunday evening.

Trump has directed the Bureau of Prisons to work with the FBI, Homeland Security, and Department of Justice to “reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt” Alcatraz.

The notorious institution allegedly housed legendary criminal Al Capone, who said it would “house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.”

Following Trump’s multiple legal disputes with the government over his attempts to send suspected gang members and illegal migrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador, the order was issued.

Trump will be able to use the maximum security prison, which was shut down in 1963, to get around the court decisions that prohibit him from carrying out the mass deportation plan.

“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,” he tweeted, seemingly hinting that illegal migrants would be the first to be imprisoned.

According to Trump, up to 30,000 of the “worst criminal aliens” will be housed in a prison facility that will be built in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Some courts have ruled that he must provide deportees with due process. In the event that legal problems arise, a revitalized Alcatraz might also address Trump’s suggestion that US citizens could be sent there and to other foreign prisons.

“The dregs of society, vicious, violent, and repeat criminal offenders, have plagued America for far too long and will only ever contribute misery and suffering,” he wrote.
