What led to Arianne Betancourt's father's release from Alligator Alcatraz?
Husto Bentancourt is coming up on three weeks since he was released from Alligator Alcatraz. And now, President Donald Trump is singling out Husto and his daughter, Arianne. In a Truth Social Post Sunday evening, Trump writes, Welcome home to Husto Bentancourt, whose daughter, Arianne, fought very hard to free her father from Alligator Alcatraz. Enjoy your freedom together. Husto, a Cuban national, spent six months in Alligator Alcatraz. A few weeks ago, a judge decided through a habeas corpus ruling he was in the detention center too long.
Pero, like, what the f***, bro? I've always wanted to open an interview like that.
With an F-bomb? Yeah. Literally.
Like, literally. Pero, like, Ariane Bettencourt is here, whose father mercifully was released from the concentration camp in the Everglades, known humorously, because concentration camps should be known humorously, as Alligator Alcatraz. This message from the president giving you a Magatav, a congratulations, where did that come from? Do you have a relationship with the president? Are you a fan? Are you a voter? Are you a fan? What is that?
Definitely none of the above. I've never been a Trump supporter. I've never voted, would never vote for Trump. I don't, you know, I'm not a conservative or a Republican. I am living below the poverty line, so tax breaks don't really apply to me.
So... So where did this come from? The President of the United States is posting on Truth Social basically a congratulations to you for a hard fought victory, which it was, to get your father out of Alligator Alcatraz. Do you have no idea how that happened?
Well, I made a very public campaign and I kind of became one of the few family members of a detained person who was going public with what we were being told.
And let's talk about that. So you don't know. The short answer is you have no idea necessarily how.
I guess I made enough noise. I mean, I just made enough noise from yelling at Kristi Noem at her hearing, from going to State of the Swamp. I've done a lot of things in the last few months. Helped start the dildo thing in Minnesota. So I was one of the starters of the dildo blitz in Minneapolis. So I think I did so much to kind of get public attention on Alligator Alcatraz that it got to him.
Clearly caught the eye of the president of the United States.
I'm sorry.
How did Arianne's public campaign influence her father's situation?
I want to get back to the dildo thing.
I was going to guess that Roy was caught up on the dildo thing.
Roy! This was at a Minnesota Timberwolves game. You guys threw dildos on the court?
No. no um federal building so my aunt is a homophobic lesbian republican trump supporter and when my dad was detained she had a problem with me being vocal on my opposition on the immigration policies so my dad told me not to argue with her so i chose to just put a dildo on her door Like, you know, go F yourself. So I wasn't arguing with her.
On her door.
You made a sort of like a psycho knife. No, I got a suction cup one on Amazon. It was like five bucks. The best $5 I've ever seen.
Not at a Minnesota Lynx game. Not a WNBA game.
This is very important because Roy keeps track of all the dildo activity in the country.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of it's in Buffalo, you know, during the Bills game.
Oh, no, I have. I'm going to show you some footage. Oh, Roy, you're in luck. Just go on YouTube. Just look up Dildo Blitz.
Okay, so suction cup this dildo.
And then I told my friends in Minnesota about it, and they were like, this is what we need to take to the ICE agents. they took a few and then sex shops just started donating thousands and thousands and thousands of dildos to the people in minnesota to take to protests because then they can't say people are being aggressive i see so we're looking at footage right now from st paul anti-ice protest turns heads with bizarre stunt there are people waving
suction cup dildos in the air. Some of them have them suction cup to their foreheads. They're throwing them at cars at the ICE detention center. They're penetrating, if you will, through the chain link fence with the dildos.
