YouTube Description
as posted by the channelUS Interior Secretary Doug Burgum confirmed on Thursday that the Trump administration will begin work to repair and reopen the notorious prison on Alcatraz. Burgum made the announcement on X just after he and US Attorney General Pam Bondi toured the island.
"Spent the day on Alcatraz Island, a [National Park Service] site, to start the work to renovate and reopen the site to house the most dangerous criminals and illegals," Burgum said. "This administration is restoring safety, justice, and order to our streets."
President Donald Trump in May called for the reopening of the dilapidated prison to house the nation's most "ruthless and violent offenders." Bureau of Prisons Director William Marshall visited the island the same month, and told FOX News at the time that he was "confident" the island could reopen as a prison.
