That could rotate.

This conspiracy theory of 2,700 MRAPs for DHS started in early 2012. Same exact figures. People were trying to make it out as though the DHS was keeping this a secret. They currently have a total of 16 MRAPs and that’s for ICE. They’re never been kept a secret. Well, here we are in early 2013 and it starts all over again. Same stupid conspiracy theory. Now it appears to be morphing into something about the 2,717 not really being for the Navy but eventually will go to DHS. That’s simply bullshit. The 2,717 are slated for duty if you will. Some of those may eventually end up with DHS/ICE. But I find it hard to imagine or even think why DHS/ICE would even want that many in the first place.
