Immigration probe uncovers possible ice cream truck ban

Carolyn Hileman | July 24, 2007 

For years, the police and city officials had not been aware of the strict language of the law. Vendors were allowed to operate under licenses issued to another person, and prohibitions against sales in parks and along roadways and sidewalks were not enforced. When a group famous for cracking down on illegal immigration began investigating the pushcarts and taco stands, they turned local ice cream vending into a hot topic. “We started asking, ‘What if the food isn’t being held to standard? What if they are operating without licenses?’ ” said Steve Thomas, director of operations for the 500-person civic group Help Save Manassas. The group, which helped vocalize outrage over illegal immigration in neighboring Prince William County, began looking at the 14 individual peddling permits.
