    There’s no way that was ICE. NO US organization has ever bought a foreign vehicle for official use.

      Rentals and it is actually legal for them to obtain other vehicle types. It’s always just a form away.

          Usually government rentals are done through a single servicer contracted by the government that matches you with a rental company or they can be directly rented with a government credit card.

          The issue here is it’s basically every car rental place and there’s not really a way for the rental place to check what branch of the government it is. It could be ICE, it could be the department of state, the national park service. So basically you would have to boycott every rental agency that rents to the government regardless of agency and that is effectively all of them
