Anyone think there is a reason they’re reopening Alcatraz? Sure, drumpf saw it on TV or what not but I am now thinking of the reasons a offshore black-site near San Fran could offer.
Then again, there’s probably a couple of black-sites all over the country, so what’s the point of this big, shiny one outside of a huge city? Intimidation? My mind went to it being a convenient way to do mass deportations by shipping them down if they can’t get air-access or other concerns (cheaper/more could be deported by boat)…except only 300 something could be held there at a time.
What is the actual point of this? Is this genuinely an “idiot” moment?
Maybe it’s demoralization? Look at me, I’m reopening a huge prison near your liberal city and there’s nothing you can do about it.
