Billy Settlemyers, owner of an ice cream truck in Las Vegas, faced backlash when a TikTok video inaccurately claimed his vehicle was an undercover ICE vehicle. This misconception stems from heightened fears around deportations under Trump's administration, leading to concerns that Settlemyers could face harassment. Despite the viral claims, he reassured the public that his ice cream business has no ties to law enforcement and emphasized the importance of keeping his van's design, which he decorated as a deterrent against theft, unchanged.
There's nothing to fear from me and my ice cream truck, Settlemyers, 56, told The Washington Post.
They have decided to associate my ice cream truck, filled with 70 flavors, with an undercover operation by ICE, which isn't true.
