Major truck rental firm issues warning to Trump admin over ICE raid
August 7, 2025 | Hailey Gomez Major firm Penske Truck Rental issued a statement Wednesday warning Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that it would reach out over the “improper use” of one of its vehicles.
DHS made multiple arrests in Los Angeles on Wednesday near the city’s MacArthur Park, according to Fox LA. Video footage, which circulated online, showed agents bursting from the back of a Penske moving truck before running toward a group of people near a sidewalk food stand, the outlet reported.
In response to videos and photos showing the DHS-used truck bearing Penske’s branding, the company issued a statement online calling out the move.
“Penske Truck Rental is aware of recent reports and videos regarding a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation in Los Angeles. Penske strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo area of its vehicles under any circumstances,” the statement reads.
“The company was not made aware that its trucks would be used in today’s operation and did not authorize this,” the statement continued. “Penske will reach out to DHS and reinforce its policy to avoid improper use of its vehicles in the future.”
