Trump orders the reopening of Alcatraz prison "To house the most ruthless criminals" of the US

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has ordered this Sunday the reopening of the Alcatraz maximum security prison, located on an island off the coast of the American city of San Francisco, in California, and which closed in the early sixties.

Expanded and rebuilt

Trump has ordered the Prison Office, the Department of Justice, the FBI and National Security, “Reoperate a substantially expanded and rebuilt alcatraz, To house the most ruthless and violent criminals in the United States, “as he indicated through his profile in the social social network.

“We will no longer be hostages of criminals, thugs, and judges who are afraid to do their job and allow us to expel criminals, who entered our country illegally. The reopening of Alcatraz will serve as a symbol of law, order and justice. We will make América Grande again! “He said.

Trump has argued that “for too long” the country has been “full of vicious, violent and repeat offenders” that “will never contribute anything more than misery and suffering.”

“When we were a more serious nation, in past times, we did not hesitate to enclose the most dangerous criminals, and keep them away from anyone who could harm. Just as it should be. We will no longer tolerate these series criminals that spread the filth, blood spill and chaos through our streets,” he added.

Subsequently, in statements to the press while returning to the White House, it has clarified that it is “only an idea” that has had, since the “politicized judges” want to ensure that deported migrants have their due process, according to the American television network CNN.

Federal Prison for almost 30 years

Alcatraz operated as a federal prison for almost 30 yearsbefore closing its doors in 1963 “because the institution was too expensive to continue operating.” At the moment, The National Parks Service manages facilities as a tourist destination.
