ICE Van Bursts Into Flames in Philadelphia

On Tuesday, a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle burst into flames in South Philadelphia.

Rumors immediately began to spread online that the fire was intentionally started in protest of mass deportations. Some even called the fire part of a left-wing terr0r attack.

However, the Philadelphia Fire Department insists the fire was accidental and, in a statement, ICE said the van “experienced mechanical issues” which caused the fire.
