Trump orders Alcatraz prison to be reopened and expanded to house the 'dregs of society'

 President Donald Trump has vowed to 'rebuild and open Alcatraz' as he seeks to crack down on violent criminals and illegal migrants.

In a post shared to Truth Social on Sunday night, Trump said 'the reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.'

Trump has directed the Bureau of Prisons to work alongside the Department of Justice, FBI and Homeland Security to 'reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt' Alcatraz.

He said the notorious facility, which once held famed gangster Al Capone, will 'house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders.'

The order comes as Trump has repeatedly clashed with the courts as he tries to send accused gang members and illegal migrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador. 

The maximum security prison, which was shut down in 1963, will provide Trump a workaround to those court orders barring him from carrying out the mass deportation scheme.

'We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally,' he wrote, appearing to suggest illegal migrants will be the first sent to the prison.

Trump has also directed the opening of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to hold up to 30,000 of what he has labeled the 'worst criminal aliens.'
