ICE has acquired thousands of branded vehicles that are now just sitting in parking garages after Kristi Noem’s 28-year-old deputy ordered them without verifying they could be used.
The Daily Beast reported last August that ICE was rolling out around 2,500 dark navy pickup trucks and SUVs bearing the agency’s name, logo, and “Defend the Homeland” motto—over the angry objections of agents who warned the conspicuous vehicles would turn them into targets.
The warnings appear to have been well-founded, as the cars are sitting idle because federal agents say they cannot drive them while hunting for specific individuals without tipping off everyone in the vicinity, the Washington Examiner reports.
