Millions of dollars wasted by Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
ICE has stockpiled hundreds of marked pickup trucks and SUVs that agents refuse to use, representing millions of dollars in wasted funding ordered by former deputy director Madison Sheahan. The marked vehicles contradict ICE protocol, as agents operate unmarked vehicles to avoid detection during immigration enforcement operations. Sheahan, a 28-year-old Ohio State graduate with minimal credentials, approved the purchase without consulting career ICE officials who would have rejected it. The $2.25 million contract for 25 Chevrolet Tahoes went to GOP donor Rick Hendrick's Hendrick Motorsports, with additional costs of $174,000-$230,000 for vehicle wrapping. Noem and Corey Lewandowski approved the order. ICE agents describe the marked vehicles as operationally counterproductive, stating they cannot use them for enforcement. Sheahan left ICE in January to run for Congress in Ohio.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
