Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corova Coleman.
President Trump says Americans voted for him to cut down on illegal immigration.
But in an interview with NBC, Trump said he didn't know if he needs to uphold the Constitution.
This answer came when he was asked about whether people should receive due process under the Constitution,
including people who are illegally in the U.S.
Trump replied he has lawyers who work for him and that he would follow the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, Trump says he is directing the Federal Bureau of Prisons to reopen and expand Alcatraz.
The former federal prison is on an island in San Francisco Bay.
From member station KQED, Rachel Vasquez has more.
In a social media post, Trump celebrated the island's history as a maximum security penitentiary,
saying in the past the U.S. didn't hesitate to,
quote, lock up the most dangerous criminals and keep them far away from anyone they could harm.
He said he wants the island to once again house the nation's most violent offenders.
A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons says they comply with all presidential orders and will share more information when they have it.
