Officials with the Penske truck-rental company are now complaining that U.S. border-enforcement officers are using their trucks to round up illegal aliens in Los Angeles.

They said the cargo areas of the trucks are not for passengers.

But Homeland Security officials responded with a zinger, pointing out that the company was totally silent when law enforcement officers found 58 migrants "crammed" into another Penske truck.

That was a case of alleged human smuggling.

Homeland Security said, on social media, "Care to remind the American people what Penske said when this happened? Silence speaks volumes. … The brave agents of @ICEgov and #CBP will continue carrying out their mission to protect Americans."

The human smuggling case was from two years ago, in Texas, when Marquez Oviel, an illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested and charged with human smuggling counts.

Social media commenters took advantage of the company's statement, with, "Have you considered crying about it?" and "Okay well now I will never rent a Penske truck for the rest of my life."
