Donald Trump has proposed reopening the infamous Alcatraz prison, which closed over 60 years ago, to house “the most dangerous criminals” and symbolize law and order. He directed federal agencies to develop plans for a rebuilt facility, claiming it has a significant history as a high-security institution. Critics, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, dismissed the idea as unserious, noting that Alcatraz is now a popular national park and tourist attraction, and that its closure was due to high operational costs and maintenance challenges.
