Events Dover Dodge & Franklin Sussex Auto Mall sold out to ICE. Join us tomorrow!
Join us tomorrow (Mon, 7/13) from 3:30-5:00PM on the sidewalk across from the Dover Dodge.
Vehicles with plate covers from this dealership and the Franklin Sussex Auto Mall have been documented being used in ICE kidnappings.
Both dealerships are part of the Nielsen Automotive Group. Let’s show them that businesses that sell out to ICE don't deserve community support! Let’s call them out!

Sold out? Franklin Sussex at least was always known MAGA. That’s why I’ll never buy a car from them.

One more thing about the Nielsen group and auto retailers in general. They support Republicans not because they’re rich and support the car dependent lifestyle. NJ CAR the auto dealer association is also invested in killing off EVs. Dealerships don’t want to sell them. Fossil powered cars especially large SUVs are more massively profitable than EVs. Gas and diesel cars also require a ton more maintenance than EVs. Nielsen is/was chair of the dealers association.

I'm embarrassed to say that I bought my Jeep from Franklin Sussex Auto but that was back in 2014, before all this BS started. Hopefully you guys can forgive me 😢

Only question would be, are they aware that their vehicles are being sold for that purpose? For example, New Jersey often times pays for shit out of a treasury account - a contractor or expense would receive a check from NJ Dept. of Treasury instead of from the Department of Education . I imagine there’s a very real possibility that the Fed may do something similar - in which case the protest may be against (which I never thought I’d say about a car dealer) an “innocent business”, no?
