Trump’s recent comments about reopening Alcatraz have sparked concern, but we know that the real threat isn’t on the island — it’s across the state.

“Yes, we should take him seriously. But while the spotlight is on Alcatraz, the risk of ICE quietly reactivating closed prisons like FCI Dublin is going unnoticed.” - CURB organizer and policy advocate Tannah Oppliger, in a recent press release

Along with FCI Dublin, other closed prisons like Chuckawalla Valley State Prison and California City Correctional Facility are at risk.

Not to mention, the state has spent more than $300 million maintaining a handful of empty, non-operational prisons.

Alcatraz itself should be a logistical non-starter: no drinking water, no utilities, no infrastructure, and a capacity of just a few hundred beds. Experts estimate it would cost up to $1 billion to make the site operational, while Trump has promised deportation campaigns targeting tens of thousands.

We are calling on state leaders to resist any federal expansion of migrant detention, permanently shutter closed prisons, and redirect billions in saved spending to housing, healthcare, and education––areas already threatened by federal budget cuts.
