The Penske Corporation voiced its opposition to the Trump administration’s handling of illegal immigration-related issues twice in a single day this week.
Spokespeople for the transportation services company issued responses to separate incidents on Wednesday, counter-signaling the federal government in both cases.
On Wednesday morning, Fox News correspondent Matt Finn published footage shot from inside a cargo truck full of U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents executing Operation Trojan Horse in Los Angeles.
“DHS arrives in Penske trucks at a Home Depot in McArthur Park area of LA for early morning immigration enforcement. The area was filled with migrants who scattered. DHS says MS 13 has a chokehold on this area, which is one reason they’re carrying out the highly optic immigration raids. 16 taken into custody,” Finn wrote on social media.
Finn also posted a video showing a USBP agent marching two small men towards a Penske truck parked in a shopping center.
Barely 90 minutes after the videos were posted, Penske released a statement via social media.
“Penske strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo area of its vehicles under any circumstances. The company was not made aware that its trucks would be used in today’s operation and did not authorize this. Penske will reach out to DHS and reinforce its policy to avoid improper use of its vehicles in the future,” the company said.
On the same day, Penske Entertainment responded to an artificially-generated image shared by the Department of Homeland Security in a since-deleted post promoting the “Speedway Slammer,” a new detention center for up to 1,000 illegal aliens being set up in Indiana, home of IndyCar and the Indianapolis 500.
“We were unaware of plans to incorporate our imagery as part of yesterday’s announcement,” stated Penske Entertainment, the parent company of IndyCar.
“Consistent with our approach to public policy and political issues, we are communicating our preference that our IP not be utilized moving forward in relation to this matter.”
In response, DHS dismissed the company’s claims as nonsense.
“An AI generated image of a car with ‘ICE’ on the side does not violate anyone’s intellectual property rights,” DHS stated. “Any suggestion to the contrary is absurd.”
Penske’s statements have triggered calls for a boycott and even criminal investigation due to the company’s trucks being used regularly by human smugglers and traffickers.
Interestingly, company founder Roger Penske was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Donald Trump in 2019.
