Trump says

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he would instruct several federal authorities to “rebuild a significantly enlarged and rebuilt Alcatraz”, a facility that was a federal prison for decades and is now a national park.

“Reconstruction and open Alcatraz! America was plagued by malignant, violent and repeated criminal criminals, the Dregs of society, who are never helped as misery and suffering,” wrote Trump about the social affairs.

“I lead the prison office together with the Ministry of Justice, the FBI and the home protection to reopen a much enlarged and converted Alcatraz in order to accommodate America's most reckless and violent criminals,” he added.

Alcatraz Island, a former military fortress and a prison in San Francisco Bay, was converted into a federal prison in 1934 and more than 1,500 people were accommodated over the course of 29 years, “according to the National Park Service,” as difficult to arrest elsewhere in the federal prison sentence.

After a National Park Service study was initially regarded as federal facility due to its small size, its remote location and the lack of fresh water. Sanford Bates, the director of the prison in 1933, but. Later it found “an ideal place for around 200 of the most desperate or most irresistible types”. It was officially opened as a federal prison next year.

Passed up Trump in his post that he wants to restore the facility for this purpose.

“When we were a more serious nation in earlier times, we did not hesitate to lock the most dangerous criminals and keep them far away from any way to which they could harm. So it should be,” he wrote.

The prison office did not immediately answer a comment on Sunday evening.

According to the prison office, the average population of Alcatraz was 260 to 275. The facility never reached its capacity of 336 people and kept less than 1% of the entire federal prison population.

Trump seemed to indicate that the island could be used to accommodate some immigrants without papers, which he wanted to remove from the country, in his post a pointed reference to “judges who are afraid to do their work and allow us to remove criminals that came into our country illegally”.

In March, Trump sent more than 200 deported to be a terrorism restricted in El Salvador in March, and enabled him to enable his appeal to the extraterrestrial enemy law, although a federal judge blocked the efforts.

A federal judge appointed by Trump leaned onto the extraterrestrial enemy law last week to deport the alleged members of the Venezuelan gangs.

Trump condemned the judicial decisions when he declared his reasons for the reopening of the prison on Sunday evening and Alcatraz described as a famous “symbol of law and order”.

“The judges, so many of these radicalized judges, want to carry out for each individual exams, remember to think about every single person who is illegal in our country,” Trump told reporters in the White House on Sunday evening. “That would mean millions of exams, and it's just so ridiculous what happens.”

In March, Trump announced in a similar way to deport immigrants in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, but concerns about the legality and the costs of moving caused the administration to rethink the plan.

The prison office operates at least 120 federal institutions and manages a population of 156,254 people.

It is unclear how feasible the move is to consider the ongoing budget restrictions in the Bureau of Prisons, that of a union that represented some of his employees in December, announced that she wanted to close several facilities.

According to the prisons office, Alcatraz closed as a prison in 1963, since the expensive operating costs were further increased by the physical island's physical island, which meant that all foods and supplies had to be delivered by boat.

“For the restoration and maintenance work, an estimated $ 3 to $ 5 million was needed to keep the prison open. This number did not include daily operating costs alcatraz almost three times more expensive than any other federal prison,” wrote the office of prisons about the closure of the Schenitentiär.

Almost a decade later, in 1972, the Congress founded the national recreation area Golden Gate, which also included Alcatraz Island. The complex was made accessible to the public a year later and, according to the agency, was held one of the most popular National Park Service sites, which organized more than 1 million visitors annually.

MP Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., The former spokesman for the house, whose district comprises the island, said Trump's proposal “is no more serious” and notices that it is now “a big tourist attraction”.

A spokesman for Gavin Newsom from California Gov. Gavin also played down the legitimacy of the idea.

“Looks like it is a breakdown day in Washington, DC,” said Diana Crofts-Pelayo, Deputy Communication Director of Newsom.
