President Donald Trump announced plans to reopen Alcatraz prison the same weekend as the film "Escape from Alcatraz" was being shown on TV, a political strategist noted.
Alcatraz, once a maximum-security federal prison, was closed in 1963 due to high operational costs and has since become a prominent tourist attraction managed by the National Park Service. Trump's proposal to reactivate the facility aligns with his administration's broader agenda of stringent law enforcement and immigration policies, Raw Story reported.
