ICE Bought Thousands Of Flashy Patrol Cars And Agents Don’t Want To Drive Them

Image
ICE bought thousands of branded vehicles agents say are useless. Marked trucks and SUVs allegedly tip off suspects in raids. Agency says the vehicles are used to support operations nationwide. After spending millions on a fleet of vehicles that looks like it was styled by a campaign merch team with access to a wrap shop, President Trump ‘s ICE agency now finds itself with a very awkward problem: agents reportedly don’t want to drive the things and have hidden them in a parking lot. ICE ordered roughly 2,500 marked vehicles in the second half of 2025, ditching its long-standing reliance on unmarked cars for something far less discreet. The new look featured dark navy paint, red and white striping, gold logos, and the slogan “Defend the Homeland” splashed down the sides. Some even wore “President Donald J.

That Strange Clicking Noise In Honda’s Prologue Is Now A Lawsuit

Image
Honda faces lawsuit over persistent Prologue axle noise. Two owners cite popping and clicking after early delivery. Dealers replaced CV axles but noises reportedly remain. Honda’s all-electric Prologue has found itself under legal scrutiny following reports of some rather odd drivetrain noises. Not long after the company warned US dealers that certain 2024–2026 Prologue models might require repairs due to clicking or ratcheting-type sounds from the drive axles, a lawsuit followed. Owners say the noises can linger even after a trip, sometimes more than one, to the dealership. A class action lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania names two Prologue owners who say their SUVs developed unusual noises from the front axle. One of them, Ashley Custer, leased a 2024 Prologue in May 2025 and soon began hearing the sounds, prompting a trip to the dealer with just 4,039 miles (6,500 km) on the odometer.
