“Did you go to Airborne just to pull security for ICE?” a billboard asks in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The billboard is one of two put up last week in North Carolina outside of two of the largest military bases, the Army’s Fort Bragg and the Marine Corps’ Camp Lejeune.
The signs are part of a campaign run led by veterans, About Face: Veterans Against The War and Win Without War, that wants to reach troops who may have questions on the legality of current or future orders as the Trump administration increasingly uses the military for domestic duties that include immigration and law enforcement.
The billboards direct viewers to a website titled: “Not What You Signed Up For” with encrypted email and messaging platforms where service members can access resources and experts with link to the GI Rights Hotline and the National Lawyers Guild’s task force focused on military law.
