Last week, Uthmeier described the area as a barren swampland. He said the site 'presents an efficient, low-cost opportunity to build a temporary detention facility because you don’t need to invest that much in the perimeter. People get out, there’s not much waiting for ’em other than alligators and pythons,' he said in the video. 'Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide.'"But local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indigenous</a> leaders have said that’s not true. Saturday’s protest was led by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NativeAmerican</a> groups, who say that the site will destroy their sacred homelands. According to The Associated Press, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigCypress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigCypress</a> is home to 15 traditional <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Miccosukee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Miccosukee</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Seminole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Seminole</a> villages, as well as ceremonial and burial grounds and other gathering sites." 'Rather than Miccosukee homelands being an uninhabited wasteland for alligators and pythons, as some have suggested, the Big Cypress is the Tribe’s traditional homelands. The landscape has protected the Miccosukee and Seminole people for generations,' Miccosukee Chairman Talbert Cypress wrote in a statement on social media last week."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalGroups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalGroups</a>, meanwhile, have disputed the state’s claims that the site will have no environmental impact. On Friday, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CenterForBiologicalDiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CenterForBiologicalDiversity</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FriendsOfTheEverglades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FriendsOfTheEverglades</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Earthjustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Earthjustice</a> sued the Department of Homeland Security in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. They argued that the site was being constructed without any of the environmental reviews required by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalEnvironmentalPolicyAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NationalEnvironmentalPolicyAct</a>." 'The site is more than 96% wetlands, surrounded by Big Cypress National Preserve, and is habitat for the endangered <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FloridaPanther" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FloridaPanther</a> and other iconic species. This scheme is not only cruel, it threatens the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Everglades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Everglades</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ecosystem</a> that state and federal taxpayers have spent billions to protect,' said Eve Samples, executive director of Friends of the Everglades."Governor <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RonDeSantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RonDeSantis</a> used emergency powers to fast track the proposal, which the Center for Biological Diversity says has left no room for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicInput" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PublicInput</a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalReview</a> required by federal law." 'This reckless attack on the Everglades — the lifeblood of Florida — risks polluting sensitive waters and turning more endangered Florida panthers into roadkill. It makes no sense to build what’s essentially a new development in the Everglades for any reason, but this reason is particularly despicable,' said Elise Bennett, Florida and Caribbean director and attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity."Read more: <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/indigenous-and-green-groups-protest-ices-alligator-alcatraz-in-the-everglades/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://truthout.org/articles/indigenous-and-green-groups-protest-ices-alligator-alcatraz-in-the-everglades/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ACAB</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICESucks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICESucks</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICEKidnapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICEKidnapping</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GatorGitmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GatorGitmo</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeSantisSucks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeSantisSucks</a>

Ms. Que Banh*2 DAYS LEFT* From The Discourse, Cowichan area based independent media. Please take the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/survey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#survey</a> if you care about access to <a href="https://beige.party/tags/wilderness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wilderness</a> areas.

The company says it will use the survey results to guide the company’s “commitment to responsible <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ForestStewardship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ForestStewardship</a> — balancing public recreation with <a href="https://beige.party/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#environmental</a> protection.” If you’d like to let Mosaic know what you think about opening up the gates to the private land it manages, the survey is open until May 23.<a href="https://www.mosaicforests.com/news-views/mosaic-seeks-public-input-on-responsible-recreation" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mosaicforests.com/news-views/mosaic-seeks-public-input-on-responsible-recreation</a>The Discourse published an article by reporter Rowan Flood covering the ongoing battle between outdoor recreation groups and Mosaic Forest Management.
