"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement earmarked millions of dollars for a bulk order for 20 armoured vehicles from Canadian defence manufacturer Roshel that are built to resist bullets and bomb blasts. U.S. government procurement records show the department laying out plans for a rush order worth the equivalent of about $10 million Cdn for 20 Senator STANG emergency response tactical vehicles."
"The procurement document declares only Roshel, which is headquartered in Brampton, Ont., meets the department's requirements for the vehicles needed "to support agents in the field" and can complete the order within 30 days. "Roshel is uniquely positioned to fulfil this requirement within the necessary time frame, having confirmed immediate availability of vehicles that fully meet ICE's specifications," said the document, produced by ICE's Office of Acquisition Management."
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement allocated funds for a bulk purchase of 20 Roshel Senator STANG armoured emergency response vehicles designed to resist bullets and blasts. Procurement records list the order as a rush sole-source purchase valued at roughly C$10 million and indicate a contract award on Nov. 28. The procurement document states only Roshel, headquartered in Brampton, can meet the technical requirements and deliver within 30 days, citing immediate vehicle availability. Roshel has supplied hundreds of Senator vehicles to Ukraine, and company materials note blast-protected flooring. ICE faces controversy amid aggressive immigration enforcement policies.
