Michael Popak
We can't allow the Trump administration to try to use cute names and cartoons to wallpaper over depraved immigration policy. We've seen it with the alligator Alcatraz. That's the official name of this inhumane detention center concentration camp in the middle of the Everglades in Florida. I'm going to touch on new developments there, including a new order stopping further construction of it. And now we've got the announcement that Kristi Noemi. Kristi Noem announced that there's going to be a speedway slammer 75 miles from Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Speedway and you and okay, because I guess they want to make it cute. Make it coloring book cute for kids. They used a AI generated car. We'll put a picture of it here. An AI generated Indy car covered with ice logos and the number five. The number five car. The only problem is, and we caught it, number five is driven by the only Mexican driver in the IndyCar series. Right now, he's in the second place, Pato O' Ward from Monterrey, Mexico. You think that was random that he just randomly picked the only Mexican driver in the Indy race? I don't think so. Let me give you the two stories here together as one as we call out the Trump administration every day, every way you're here on the Midas Touch Network. Hit the free subscribe button if you can to support us come over to Legal AF YouTube channel and do the exact same thing. I'm Michael Popach. Let's get to it. Alligator Alcatraz is the name. I'm not calling it that now. Two groups have joined together. The Miccosukee Tribe, powerful, powerful tribe of Native Americans here in Florida, along with the Seminole Tribe. And they see the Everglades as sacred ground. Their words, sacred and holy ground for the Seminoles and for Florida. From an environmental standpoint, the Everglades, the tributaries, the wetlands, Lake Okeechobee is what keeps Florida from shriveling up in the heat and disappearing. I mean, let's be honest, it would just spontaneously combust if it didn't have the waterways and the Everglades and the Lake Okeechobee feeding and all that. And a lot of money, billions and billions of dollars, federal money included, has gone into the restoration of the Everglades. Right? To open up. It's like Rotor Rooter to open up blocks to make sure there are no dams, to make sure water is flowing properly in the right direction. It's. It is something that they. That if you ever get out there, there's a. There's a. It's hot as heck in the summer, but there's a pristine beauty about it to be somewhere in the Everglades. I've done some hiking and biking in there, but what I haven't done is been penned up in a concentration camp with no air conditioning in the middle of the summer with no hurricane plan, with mosquitoes and alligators, and that's what's going on there. So there's two lawsuits about Alligator Alcatraz. Sorry about the ICE detention center in the Everglades. One is going to have a hearing on the 18th of August about the underlying human rights violations, the civil rights violations, the constitutional violations, cruel and unusual punishment, and all about operating that facility where more than a thousand people, give or take 100 or two, that may have been removed already are being housed. Again, no air conditioning, improper sanitation and all that. This lawsuit I'm telling you about now with Judge Williams is about the environmental impact that was never properly assessed by sticking a concentration camp in the middle of the Everglades. So the Friends of the Everglades and the Miccosukee Tribe got together and filed the suit. And now Judge Williams has put a stop, at least for the next two weeks, to the further construction to build three or four thousand more beds in the Everglades. You may remember Judge Williams. I talked about her just a few weeks ago. She was the judge and it was affirmed by the United States Supreme Court that ruled that Florida could not, could not create its own body of criminal immigration law. They were starting criminalizing anybody state crime if, if you came into the state in an undocumented status. Okay, we have a concept, I guess the, the, the attorney general for Florida fell asleep in, in class, in constitutional law class during this. But we have a concept called preemption and ouster. When the federal government and Congress has spoken in a certain area and a certain subject matter, they reign supreme. And you can't regulate as a state that same area. Now the other areas that the feds are not regulating, that's all you states under Federalism and the 10th Amendment. You ever have a meal that just stays with you?

So we have a body of immigration law. We have a code related to it. Part of it's criminal, part of it civil. But we have a code and Florida can't make up its own, just like the other 49 states can't do it. So Judge Williams struck it down and said nobody can be arrested under this unconstitutional statute while it's up on appeal. Well, the attorney general for Florida, Entmeyer. Mr. Entmeyer didn't like that. So he gave out an order to his underlings, to people in different departments and agencies in law enforcement in Florida and said, well, that's what the judge ruled. However, I don't really have the power to tell you what to do. Judge found out about that, found Entmeyer in contempt, which is what she was supposed to do. And I think 26 or 27 people were arrested under this unconstitutional law. I think they've been released. Supreme Court gets a hold of it. U.S. supreme Court and in a rare ruling that we can get behind, ruled in favor of Judge Williams that Florida can't create its own criminal immigration law. So that's Judge Williams. You know, that's pretty, that's pretty heady stuff, right? You get affirmed by the United States Supreme Court. So she just issued that injunction about the further construction on environmental grounds until the, until all of the briefing is in. But she thinks more likely than not that the Miccosukee's and the Friends, the Florida Everglades are going to win that case, which would keep it to. Now, she has not stopped, to be fair, to be, you know, to be straightforward. She has not stopped the operation of Alligator Alcatraz, sorry, the Immigration Detention center in, in, in the Everglades. See my point? Once they start using these, these little catchy names, it completely divorces the inhumanity of what's going on because now we're talking about Disney figures. So now let me move on to the Indianapolis 500 and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. People that know me know that I'm a, I'm a car buff. I've raced cars myself at, at Homestead Motor Speedway. Not Indy cars, but I've raced cars and I like cars and I generally like motorsport. So I was beside myself along with the people, the family that owns the Indianapolis Speedway when ICE and Kristi Noem and Donald Trump decided to come up with another cutie cutie cutesy again. It's like it would be the equivalent of when we as a scar on our history put Japanese Americans and German Americans in concentration camps During World War II in internment camps, if we gave them cutesy names, I don't know, like Chop Suey Concentration camp, you know, something both racist and, you know, offensive and cartoonish, you know, or, or the, or the, the Kraut cage for the Germans. Right now, only in Trump World in Trumplandia, would you think to call it the, I almost called it the Speedy Speedway. Would you call it, you know, what they're calling it related to the Indianapolis 500 and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. So they're using this inappropriate speedway slammer with a artificially created, an AI created CGI created IndyCar. And they gotta use Pato awards number. They picked the only Mexican or five's Kristi Noem's favorite number. And so the family that owns the Indianapolis Motor Speedway said we don't like people using our intellectual property without our permission. And the government fought back. Oh, this is ridiculous. Or we didn't use your right. You got speedway slammer with an Indy car. I don't know how that's not a violation of. And if I were them, I bring the suit. Now they interview Pato o'. Ward. He was just sort of, you know, disappointed and like, why, why, why am I being picked out? Because I'm from Monterrey, Mexico, you know. But this is what we're calling out here on Midas Touch. There is a method to this madness to try to make cartoonish acceptable and normalize things. Like we're operating concentration camps and putting people in them, sometimes outside without proper heating and cooling, you know, and so it has a cutesy name that the kids can get behind. You know, what are you going to start doing next? Start selling Pokemon stickers and other cards and things, you know, with all the, you know, Collect, collect all 10 of the. Of the ICE immigration centers. Is that, that's where we're going? Not on my watch. Not on your watch. And you're watching Legal AF and Midas Touch Network. Take a moment.
