As part of its mission to “protect the Homeland,” the DHS has been busy seizing imported vehicles that don’t comply with safety and CO2 regulations.

Jennifer and Bill Brinkley were satisfied that their $60,000 dollar purchase of a Land Rover Defender on eBay complied with regulations because it fell into the exemption category of a vehicle 25 years or older.

Some comissar’s future ride.

Typical bureaucrat response: we don’t have enough to do so let’s go out and find some potential violations to enforce. Next up, J walking.

What if it were just a farm vehicle and you weren’t even planning on registering it?

Seriously, I would say it caught fire.

You have to live by the regulations of the state, live by them, shut up and enjoy that jack boot on your throat, it is there for your own good you foolish peasant!

" The Department of Homeland Security, created in the aftermath of 9/11, was tasked with the role of protecting America from terrorists, man-made accidents and natural disasters. However, the DHS has been turned into a national police force with a remit that extends from seizing websites for copyright infringement to confiscating fake NFL merchandise."

The DHS has become the president’s personal Gestapo.

The DHS is the enforcement branch of the EPA ? Seriously ?

Well, ICE stands for Immigration and CUSTOMS Enforcement, so while this can be seen a pretty petty it does fall within the scope of their responsibilities.

My Land Rover (loaded with all my assault weapons)slid off the ferry when we encountered a violent storm directly over the deepest part of the lake.

Other sources say the vehicles were imported illegally.
BUT.

What DHS is doing: WHO expanded their mandate to include such actions beyond terrorist interdiction? I certainly did not authorize them...none of us did...

So who gave them this power?

What are the chances that Jennifer and Bill Brinkley have not contributed to the Democrat Party?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That’ll make a real nice technical for some DHS SWAT team when the time comes to start wiping out the peasants.

[tanknetter]

You really don’t know a lot about DHS, do you?

The ICE component enforces Custom regs. If the vehicles were imported illegally it’s a Customs issue and ICE has proper jurisdiction. Always has.

Ah Ah, so you are responsible for the rising water levels, not global warming.

[TalonDJ]

Ah. Good point. I forgot the rolled ICE into DHS

[tanknetter]

The solution here is to declare that the Land Rovers were brought into this country as unaware minors and file a Deferred Action petition that will allow them to stay in the only country and homes they’ve ever known ...

Our King, King Obama's communists departments. That is the way dictatorships work.
