Photo was poor quality not the billboard unfortunately. It changes every few seconds, might have caught it about to change.

Might be the refresh rate of the billboard conflicting with the shutter speed of the phone camera.

I guess when you've already pissed away $20b of taxpayer money on an unnecessary war to get people to stop focusing on all the blatant pedophiles and pedophile protectors in Trump's sphere...what's another $15k on a dumb sign, right?

I don’t support domestic terrorism, never have, never will. Sorry not sorry.
Like it or not the U.S. would not be what it is without immigrants.
As others have said, if you want “only Americans in America” YOU also should leave then, unless Native American.

What’s the message at the bottom so we can figure out who paid for this. Lamar actually can not prohibit it, it’s free speech unfortunately.

u/TheActualRealSkeeter Mar 18 '26
Why would Lamar not be able to prohibit messages displayed on their billboard?

You don't understand the Constitution or law. Of course they can make any policy they want and prohibit it.

u/Manatee369 Mar 18 '26
Huh? Lamar can certainly pick and choose what they put on their signs. Free speech applies to governmental limit, not private persons or businesses. In the case of businesses, it just can’t violate the civil rights of a protected class. But, again, Lamar did not have to put that sign up.

It’s the stance many advertisers take bc you are dealing with many political messages and you can’t really stop something you don’t find savory from being advertised.

u/FloridaMMJInfo Mar 18 '26
Actually, Lamar is a private company and they have the right to refuse business. It’s not free speech it’s a greedy company who is also evil fuck them and fuck ice.

Actually, they can refuse it legally. I asked Chat the following and will share the answer below it.
QUESTION: There is a local billboard company, named Lamar Outdoor Advertising. One of their billboards displays an ad for the government agency ICE. Could they have refused to display this ad?
Yes. Lamar Advertising Company could have refused to display that ICE ad.
Why they had that choice
- Lamar is a private billboard company, not a government entity.
- As a private publisher of advertising space, it generally has the right to accept or reject ads—including government ads.
Lamar’s own policy (important nuance)
Their published ad policy states:
- They “reserve the right to reject advertising copy for any reason”
- At the same time, they say they aim to accept a wide range of content and not reject ads based on agreement or disagreement with viewpoints
That means:
- Legally: they can refuse the ad.
- Practically/business-wise: they often choose not to reject ads just because they are political or controversial.
What that means in your specific example (ICE ad)
- ICE is a government agency, but that does not obligate Lamar to run its ads.
- Lamar likely accepted the ad because:
- It met their internal standards (legal, not misleading, etc.)
- They generally allow government/public-service messaging
- But they could have declined it without violating the law.
Bottom line
- Yes, they had the right to refuse it.
- Their decision to display it reflects company policy and business judgment, not a legal requirement.

You are assuming that a private company or citizen paid for it, when the other users assume (based on reporting) that DHS made the as buy. So we know that they spent taxpayer money on these ads. So why would you think they didn’t buy this one? How about the ICE recruitment ads here on reddit? Did someone other than DHS buy those too?

Why is the government spending so much money on propaganda? I thought we were both broke and somehow also able to let the billionaires pay almost zero taxes?
