Attorney General Pam Bondi is slated to visit Alcatraz on Thursday and possibly announce plans to reopen the facility, which Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) deemed the “stupidest initiative yet.”

Bondi is on Pelosi’s home turf of San Francisco alongside Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. According to ABC 7 News, they “are expected to announce plans to reopen the federal penitentiary.”

Trump made the call to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz back in May, writing in a Truth Social post, “REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!”

“For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering,” Trump said. “When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm,” he continued, concluding that it is the way it’s “supposed to be.”

“No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets,” Trump said. “Law and order” has been a central tenet of his platform.

Trump then directed the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to “reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.”

“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,” Trump said, adding that the reopening of the facility would stand as a shining “symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.”

Yep. Pretty dumb. For what it would take to refresh and modernize Alcatraz, it'd be cheaper to plow it under and start over. And none of that is easy on an inaccessible rock.

Distraction and diversion from Epstein.

'Alcatraz' must have been a prominent word in a focus group word map, thanks to 'Alligator Alcatraz'.

Stupid idea.  Alcatraz was shut down because it was too small, too obsolete, and too expensive to operate.  The same still holds true.
