President Trump's proposal to rebuild Alcatraz as a prison for violent offenders encounters formidable obstacles, including the National Environmental Protection Act and the California Environmental Quality Act. These regulations demand thorough environmental assessments, particularly concerning local wildlife such as protected bird species. Historical preservation laws further complicate the project, as Alcatraz is a designated National Historic Landmark. Environmental reviews may lead to legal challenges from interest groups aiming to protect the ecological and historical integrity of the island, significantly delaying or derailing the project.
If Trump is to get his prison, the bureau will have to first pass a number of environmental reviews, including the National Environmental Protection Act.
There are a few major environmental hurdles any prison on Alcatraz would have to clear. First, the birds. Several species of waterfowl nest on Alcatraz throughout the year.
