Trumps 2027 Budget Proposal: Alcatraz Prison Revival and Defense Spending Boost
President Trumps budget proposal for 2027 includes a controversial plan to reopen Alcatraz as a high-security prison, with a price tag of $152 million. The island prison closed in 1963 due to high operating costs and has since been a national park. Trump first proposed the idea on Truth Social in May 2025, and officials have since toured the site. However, San Francisco leaders, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Mayor Daniel Lurie, have criticized the plan as a waste of taxpayer money. The budget also calls for a significant increase in defense spending, while slashing non-defense programs like humanitarian aid and global health initiatives.
