NEW: ICE purchased custom-made vans from a company called TechOps Specialty Vehicles (TOSV) that are equipped with fake cellphone towers designed to spy on phones.

TOSV president told us that the company integrates the cell-site simulators into their vans, but does not manufacture the surveillance tool.

The contract was signed in May and is worth $800,000. ICE did not answer our questions about these vans and the cell-site simulators.
