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

In a post shared to TruthSocial 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.
