Servicing the Fascists

Of course it’s a Mexican food truck.

Kona Ice sent an explainer while a Mexican food truck company apologized to its customers as both were seen participating in a catering event at the new Everglades immigration processing center called Alligator Alcatraz.

“The event was booked through an unknown agency, and the franchisee was unaware of the facility’s nature or its association with politically sensitive issues,” Kona wrote on Instagram.

“We deeply regret the impression our involvement may have given and the pain it has caused within our community,” said Elote Lovers, a Mexican restaurant in Homestead, in a statement on Instagram.

Kona Ice and Elote Lovers were two of four food trucks seen entering the facility in the Everglades in Miami-Dade County on a TikTok posted on July 2. The video, which now has over 3.7 million views, shows food trucks named Kona Ice, Elote Lovers, Churromania and Ms. Cheezius driving into the gate at the Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport.

If I was placing Mexicans into a concentration camp, maybe I’d need some tacos too!
