1:56choice hotels get you more of what you value comfort in it's calling your name save on the stay oh and free waffles are yours to claim book direct at choicehotels.com 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.

2:35Michael Popok:And now we've got the announcement that Kristi Noem announced that there's going to be a speedway slammer 75 miles from Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Speedway. And because I guess they want to make it cute, make a coloring book cute for kids. They used an AI-generated car. We'll put a picture of it here. An AI-generated IndyCar 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?

3:17Michael Popok: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 Popok. 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.

3:51And they see the Everglades

3:53Michael Popok: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 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 Roto-Rooter, to open up blocks, to make sure there were no dams, to make sure water is flowing properly in the right direction.

4:35It is something that if you ever get out there, 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 a hundred or two that may have been removed already, are being housed.

5:23Again, 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 4 ,000 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 create its own body of criminal immigration law.

6:06They were starting criminalizing anybody, state crime, if you came into the state in an undocumented status. Okay. We have a concept, I guess the attorney general for Florida fell asleep 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?

6:40Like for me, it was this spicy citrus marinated grilled fish thing I had on vacation last summer.

6:44Michael Popok:It was perfectly charred, bursting with flavor, and I still crave it. That's exactly what Cook Unity delivers. Meals so good, they stick in your memory.

8:00Michael Popok:Terms and conditions apply. Go to cookunity.com for details. So we have a body of immigration law. We have a code related to it. Part of it's criminal, part of it's 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. It 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 and law enforcement in Florida and said, well, that's what the judge ruled.

8:39However, 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 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 all of the briefing is in, but she thinks more likely than not that the Miccosukeys and the friends of the Florida Everglades are going to win that case, which would keep it to, now she has not stopped, to be fair, to be straightforward, she has not stopped the operation of Alligator Alcatraz, sorry, the Immigration Attention Center in the Everglades.

9:40See my point? Once they start using these little catchy names, it completely divorces the inhumanity 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 car buff. I've raced cars myself 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 cutesy.

10:21Again, 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 and internment camps if we gave them cutesy names. I don't know, like, you know, chop suey concentration camp, you know, something both racist and, you know, offensive and cartoonish, you know, or 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, what they're calling it related to the Indianapolis 500 and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

11:10So they're using this inappropriate speedway slammer with an artificially created, an AI created, CGI created IndyCar. And they got to use Pato O 'Ward's number?

11:28Michael Popok:They picked the only Mexican or five's Christy Gnomes' 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'd bring the suit. Now they interview Pato Award. He was just sort of, you know, disappointed. And like, why am I being picked out? Because I'm from Monterey, Mexico, you know? But this is what we're calling out here on Midas Touch.

12:09There 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. And so it has a cutesy name that the kids can get behind. What are you going to start doing next? Start selling Pokemon stickers and other cards and things.
