Wednesday morning, ICE conducted a raid in Los Angeles at a Home Depot where known MS-13 gang members hang out. It was pretty epic.
(Yes, I got what I voted for again)
It's something you see in law enforcement operations pretty regularly. Law enforcement hangs out in the back of an unmarked, nondescript vehicle, then pounces.
But apparently, Penske wants you to know you can't put people in the back of the truck like that! And they're going to tell on the DHS for improper use of their trucks!
Here's the statement in case they wise up and delete the post:
Yes, Penske is going out if its way to give a woke counter-signal to federal law enforcement because they don't like that ICE is arresting MS-13 gangbangers and other illegal immigrants.
Whatever corporate girl boss wrote this statement is definitely NOT Penske material.
The comments on the virtue signal were brutal but hilarious. A sampling:
But Homeland Security had the last laugh:
Care to comment, Penske?

Love that post coming from the Homeland Security account itself!
Maybe the illegals can work on the Penske File. George was never able to.
When I was in AZ, I encountered Hertz vans full of illegals. They would go into the national forest below Flagstaff to hide during the day and travel at night.
No worries. ICE has assigned George Costanza to handle this complaint.
LA County is chalk full of illegal alien vermin..not enough trucks on planet earth to round them all up, I hope that ICE was able to get a big chunk today
Penske Files!!!!!!

One wouldn’t think it would be so easy to get around federal law enforcement controlling smuggling and the border, especially the agency that has been at it for more than a 100 years.
But it depends on whose administration is setting policies - Biden and Mayorkas, or Trump.
Darn - I had a really good truck rental with Penske this past year. I was in need of a a msll truck but with a lift gate and Penske had the best option, and it was a nice newish cab over truck with great visibility.
You are correct, but law enforcement does seem to have an 8-5 mentality, we rarely see deep creativity, and rigid determination, and firm goals from them, they could root out a heck of a lot more than they do.
All those fake FBI guys dressed up like nerds?
They piled in and out of yellow Penski trucks for a few years now. Even a few videos of their antics of them telling everyone to “Dont tell the cops.”
Jackboots gotta start somewhere.
Craven Penske CEO is immediately thinking: “Damn, our liability insurance is going to double, and we also don’t want any woke idiots in California suing us”
Better put out a statement.....
Don’t rent from Penske. They’ve demonstrated they have no clue what they’re talking about when putting out public statements all while attempting to discredit law enforcement.
Given Penske’s institutional ownership, this does not surprise me.
The government can commandeer any private vehicle it needs for national security.
