Penske Truck Rental stated on Wednesday that it did not authorize the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to use its trucks during an immigration raid in Los Angeles dubbed by Border Patrol as "Operation Trojan Horse."
In a statement posted on X, Penske said it "strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo area of its vehicles under any circumstances" and that the company was not informed the trucks would be used in the operation. The company added it will reach out to DHS to reinforce its policy and prevent future improper use of its vehicles.
