Two federal officials traveled to California to visit the shuttered Alcatraz prison, part of a plan to soon announce the reopening of the infamous federal prison.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum toured Alcatraz Island to assess its potential reopening as a federal prison at President Donald Trump's direction.

Alcatraz is one of San Francisco's biggest sightseeing attractions, but on Thursday two members of the Trump administration toured the former federal prison, indicating they were on a mission to follow through on President Trump's proposal to reopen the site as a prison.

But data and news reports about the first month’s arrivals show the majority of Alligator Alcatraz’s detainees do not have U.S. criminal convictions.  President Donald Trump, federal officials and Florida Republicans touted the remote Everglades immigration detention centers — dubbed Alligator Alcatraz — as a place to detain people deemed the "worst of the worst.

A class-action lawsuit alleges that people being held at the immigrant detention center in the Everglades "effectively have no way to contest their detention."

“In most respects, ICE facilities operate with less consistent oversight and legal accountability than state or federal prisons or local jails,” Brinkley-Rubinstein said. “ICE detention facilities and people that run them tend to be much less transparent about their operations.”
