Donald Trump said he is directing his government to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the infamous former prison on an island near San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.
In a message on his Truth Social site, US President Trump said that "for too long America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat criminal offenders".

Leading Democrats said the proposal was "not a serious one".
