Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

The Department of Homeland Security posted a video Thursday on X featuring music by rapper DaBaby and footage of a Ford Raptor pickup truck and GMC Yukon SUV traveling the streets of Washington, D.C., and parked outside the White House and the U.S. Capitol. The trucks, which have the same color scheme as Trump's private jet, sport ICE's logo and the phrase: "Defend the Homeland." The words "President Donald J. Trump" appear on the back window of at least one of the vehicles.

$500k was probably just for those two trucks.

It would probably be prudent to keep those trucks away from protests. But you know they won't. My bet is that they will be used at protests as props, to arrest 'protestors' they've planted to vandalize the trucks. Then they can escalate the situation, much as they did during the BLM demonstrations.
