'Feds Use AI To Turn Mexican Driver's IndyCar Into A Promotion For Its Latest ICE Detention Facility'
"When Republicans passed Trump's economic agenda recently, they set aside $170 billion for immigration and border enforcement, including $75 billion in additional funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Of that $75 billion, $45 billion will go to building and operating new (concentration camps) ICE detention centers that will house all the people the administration decides are undesirables. The Department of Homeland Security also recently announced a new Indiana facility that it nicknamed the Speedway Slammer, a move that seriously upset IndyCar, the Daily Beast reports."

DHS also went a step further and tweeted out their announcement with an (almost definitely) AI-generated image showing an IndyCar race car wearing an ICE livery as it drives past what appears to be a massive prison complex. The text included in the tweet reads, "The Speedway Slammer 🏁." It also included the number 5 in the livery, which is the number of the car driven by Pato O'Ward, who is Mexican."
