Boycott Budget Rental!

Both trucks AND cars! It is my understanding that they are renting their trucks to ICE to be used as transport and lockup vehicles for arresting immigrants and others in their brutal "clearout" raids such as the one in Chicago that we heard so much about. Let's just go ahead and boycott them until they STOP this nefarious business. Also serve notice to other rental companies (Penske, U-Haul, Hertz, etc.) that we'll do the same to them in the event that they decide to do the same.

They don't have to tell the clerk that they are cops. They can use a credit card that the clerk doesn't know who was issued it. I worked at a u-haul dealer 35 years ago.
