President Donald Trump says he's directing his government to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the notorious former prison on a California island that's been closed for more than 60 years.

The President said he wants to restore the legendary island prison, which was closed decades ago and converted into a tourist attraction, to push back against “radicalized judges.”

The facility on Alcatraz Island has been a tourist attraction under the National Parks Service for longer than it operated as a federal prison.
