6. Fact-check first, please. The vans do not appear to be from UHaul.

The vans pictured appear to be from Budget Truck Rental, not UHaul. It appears that someone was using the brand name UHaul to generically refer to rental vans.

Second, it isn't clear that they were used for detained individuals - what is pictured are ICE agents in the vans.

Contract violation to transport passengers in moving trucks, whoever they are. eppur_se_muova Oct 2025 #7

Blaming/pressuring UHaul - as the OP suggests - is stupid if UHaul isn't involved. Ms. Toad Oct 2025 #8

Again -- need to check the rental contract. If Budget says "not for passengers", it doesn't matter who they are. eppur_se_muova Oct 2025 #9

The article says UHaul trucks .... fact check yourself. live love laugh Oct 2025 #10

The author wasn't the one calling for action against UHaul. n/t Ms. Toad Oct 2025 #16

You've been proven wrong -- the AUTHOR cited U-Haul -- and you're doubling down .... *sigh* live love laugh Oct 2025 #17

U-Haul as well as Budget vans were there muriel_volestrangler Oct 2025 #12
