Overview
- Government records show Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions secured a $2.25 million August contract to supply 25 Chevrolet Tahoes to ICE.
- ICE documented an urgent and compelling need, saying immediate deployment was required to provide a visible law enforcement presence and support recruiting.
- Hendrick stated the SUVs were standard and unmodified and said it does not control how agencies equip, brand, or use vehicles after purchase.
- A DHS official said the vehicles supplement ICE’s existing fleet and support operations across the country.
- Reporting notes roughly $174,000 in additional spending for vehicle wrappings, and outlets say it is unclear whether these Tahoes were used in the Charlotte operation.
