Still need to send everyone involved with that concentration camp to The Hague. You know what they called Nazis who were only involved with the Nazi party for several months, Nazis!

Paving of 20 acres of wetlands, increased runoff and chemical pollution, disruption of nocturnal wildlife due to intense lighting, damage to endangered species habitats like the Florida panther, and potential spills of diesel and sewage. The facility also threatens the nearby Everglades ecosystem and the lands of the Miccosukee Tribe, which depend on it for water and cultural sites. Brought to you by Google and AI.
