Several food truck companies have been hit with major backlash online after they were filmed entering Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center. The four companies issued statements after customers threatened to boycott them for doing catering business at the controversial prison in the Everglades.

President Donald Trump toured the migrant detention facility earlier this week, which was built in just eight days on a disused air strip as he looks to ramp up deportations.

A TikToker filmed trucks belonging to Kona Ice, Churro Mania, Elote Lovers and Ms.Cheezious entering the hastily-constructed facility on July 1, according to the social media post.

“Boycott Kona Ice, Churro Mania, Elote Lovers & Ms.Cheezious,” the user, Osozalez, posted. “They love our food but hate out [sic] people.” The TikTok post has received more than 7.5 million views since it was shared earlier this week.

4. Anyone who thinks they're feeding them anything except expired MRE's is too naive for this earth

These people are sadistic Nazis. If it's not expired MRE's then it's probably thin gruel and piss water.

3. Kudos to the patriots protesting the fascistic camp construction and keeping us informed.

5. " the controversial prison in the Everglades" is a concentration camp, a death camp

Those are all snack trucks, not meal trucks

6. Do people think those snack food trucks were meant for the prisoners?

It was meant for the MAGA staff there. And for Trump on his visit.

7. I was at an art and craft show a few weeks ago.

At the end of the show while I am packing up a pickle vendor starts talking to me, he said his sales were down 30 percent from last year.
Gee I wonder why, he wore a I love trump shirt with his face on it for both days of the event.

I debated saying something about the shirt but decided if he is that stupid why bother, fly it out there for everyone to see.
