A dodge minivan that was destroyed in a fire in a Philadelphia neighborhood Tuesday morning has been identified as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle, according to Citizen Alerts, a community-wide emergency notification app.
A 911 caller reported the incident at 506 S Front Street in Philly at 8:38 a.m. Police blocked off the streets near the blaze, as it intensified.
“If you could notify a supervisor about this vehicle fire, it’s actually a government vehicle—a Homeland Security ICE vehicle,” a police dispatcher can be heard saying in a recording posted on Citizen alerts.
American Greatness reached out to ICE for an update on the fire and did not immediately receive a reply.
Anti-ICE agitators have become increasingly militant in recent weeks, clashing with police officers from Los Angeles to New York. Many of the violent protests were organized by the Party of Socialism and Liberation, a communist political party in the United States.
ICE arrests have increased by more than 137 percent under President Trump, Border Czar Tom Homan reported on X, Monday.
“Arrests of aliens with criminal convictions have doubled under President Trump,” he added. “The arrests of illegal alien gang members has also doubled. Our streets and neighborhoods are that much safer under President Trump. We are less than a month in and have more to do.”
Update:
An ICE spokesman said the cause of the fire is unknown, but “no foul play is suspected at this time.”
No doubt the protesters/revolutionaries are also on the USAID payroll. My question is how did anyone notice the vehicle on fire? It’s Philly!
