Ice has paid for six billboards featuring six billboards featuring immigrants that were released by police for insufficient evidence but were not turned over to ICE: [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ice-put-up-billboards-with-the-mugshots-of-immigrants-who-were-released-from-police-custody/ar-BB19FFYD?ocid=msedgntp](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ice-put-up-billboards-with-the-mugshots-of-immigrants-who-were-released-from-police-custody/ar-BB19FFYD?ocid=msedgntp) “The billboards feature an image of an “at-large” immigrant who was arrested or convicted of a crime but were “released by: Philadelphia Police Department.” The word “WANTED BY ICE” also accompanies the image.” Is ICE supposed to be spending money on political attack billboards? Doesn’t smell right to me. ---

I think it’s wrong, but not on the basis of billboards being too political. I see them as basically wanted posters, which is fine in principle. I also wonder how they were paid for. ~Max
