The sight of dozens of ICE vehicles in a Northland parking lot this week has sparked wide discussion online about a new action by federal officers in Kansas City. But the vehicles have nothing to do with any planned enforcement locally, according to City Council member Johnathan Duncan. Duncan said that marked United States ICE vehicles seen in a Kansas City parking lot, located in the 9400 block of Northeast Parvin Road near Worlds of Fun, are not part of an operation that’ll happen in KC. Instead, they are simply being worked on by a local company. Duncan told The Star that when online chatter began circulating about the vehicles parked in a lot, he was immediately inundated with phone calls from constituents. Duncan said he reached out to other city officials to find out what was occurring. “I got a call from our liaison soon, soon thereafter, who said that it is their understanding that there’s an automotive company that was contracted to decal those vehicles,” he said. Holman Automotive reportedly held a contract to work on those vehicles. Company officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
