      Alternately, do sell it, but make sure it’s guaranteed to fail and become an expensive paperweight upon first use. I’d prefer your option, but I’ll take mine if I can’t get yours.

        The failure option is better because it takes money from their budget and sends it to Canada, even if it’s to a soulless corporation.

    Wtf does ICE need with APCs?

    Are they that terrified of normal people just trying to earn a living?

      They’re protecting us from all those immigrants who rob, rape, and murder us whenever we leave our homes.

      I’ve been robbed, raped, and murdered three times in the last week, and I’m getting tired of it. I need to get ICEd up.

    I’m Canadian and I disapprove of this message. It would also be nice if we stopped selling weapons to Israel.

      Which would accomplish nothing. They’ll just buy from Putin indirectly.

        This reasoning, “I’ll do the bad thing because if I didn’t someone else would,” could justify anything. If that’s your moral standard, it’s effectively no moral standard. Whether it’s an individual or a country, someone has to step up and act better than the worst.

    Hey Canada, if you could sabotage these somehow so they’re useless and ICE becomes easier targets for American citizens that’d be awesome.

    ICE’s Office of Acquisition Management laid out the reasons why Roshel LLC, headquartered in the Toronto suburb of Brampton, is the only approved vendor “that possesses sufficient inventory to meet the required delivery schedule and the salient characteristics identified by ICE.”

    20 vehicles in 30 days, works out to $360k per vehicle.

    FYI it’s a stripped Ford 550, which are built in the US, rebuilt with armor.

        Probably a grift, as MAGA is prone to do. I suspect a fair bit of the massive ICE budget is engineered to end up in the 1%'s pockets. I am not sure how to feel about these shitbirds cannibalizing their political goals for the sake of mammon…

    Purchases by federal agencies are generally exempt from tariffs.

    US Tariffs - just on the stuff normal people have to live on.

    Any Brampton lemmings here? Anyone working at Roshel? Got a monkey wrench or a sabot handy?

    Do US a solid, wouldja, and make sure those motherfuckers are stranded in the angry crowd, with freon streaming into the cab from the AC and oil and power steering fluid making a trail behind them.
