So I guess we can boycott Penske now.

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.

Then they should denounce them. Loudly. Otherwise it's compliance and they're part of the problem.
They did. They said it was illegal in a statement.
Do you have a plan to undo the damage you did by jumping on this bandwagon?
The damage is the point. Their brand was associated with this.
The damage. Is the point.
I bet some of them own iPhones. Does that make Apple complicit?
The employee rented a truck to a random white guy. They do this every day.
The company stated the act was illegal after learning about it. What more could they do, or have done? If the answer is nothing, then the damage is undeserved.
how about legally press the guy they rented the truck to if it was illegal? Unless I see arrests, penske did absolutely nothing but say "woopsie"
What makes you think they know which of their many customers supplied the rented truck to ICE?
I don't disagree with you one bit. Hopefully they do. Just trying to be realistic.
They did.

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.
Woof. Not the best response.
As a business, it's a good response. They denounce it without talking a side.
Personally, I would take more action, but I'm not a business.
imagine if picking a side in illegally kidnapping people off the street is seen as controversial lol
wtf is happening america
