'What a symbol it is!' Trump unveils plan to reopen famed Alcatraz prison

President Donald Trump revealed Tuesday that he was moving forward with his plan to reopen the infamous Alcatraz federal prison in San Francisco.

"Because of the Violence and Criminality I have seen due to the Open Border Policy of Sleepy Joe Biden," Trump wrote on Truth Social, "in particular allowing millions of people into our Country who shouldn't be here, I wanted something representative to show how we fight back, and then, it happened, I saw a picture of ALCATRAZ looking so foreboding, and I said, 'We're going to look into renovating and rebuilding the famous ALCATRAZ Prison sitting high on the Bay, surrounded by sharks. What a symbol it is, and will be!'"

The president said "conceptual work" began six months ago.

"Various prison development firms are looking at doing it with us. Still a little early, but lots of promise!" he exclaimed.
