San Francisco

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.

From 1934 until its closure in 1963, Alcatraz operated as a maximum-security federal penitentiary designed to hold what some consider America's most notorious criminals.

The prison on Alcatraz shut down in 1963 due to its high operating costs related to its remote location and the worsening condition of many of its structures.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said the effort to reopen the dilapidated former prison is a "diversionary tactic."
