Happened in LA just days after a federal Judge struck down their use of warrantless arrests. And they continued at a Home Depot in Los Angeles a couple days after.

      They did.

      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 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.

      Edit to add: they didn’t say “omg we don’t approve of this for politics/ethics” they said “omg that’s not safe and you’re not allowed to use our trucks that was”. I get that the first would be more satisfying to hear, but the second is a legalistic reason to refuse to rent to them again.
