Local veterans are speaking out against the
deployment of 200 Marines to assist U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement in
Florida. Over 200 veterans have signed an
open letter opposing the use of the military
in this capacity.
Alexander McCoy, a Marine Corps veteran who
served six years as an embassy guard in the
Middle East, Latin America, and Europe,
expressed his unease about the deployment.
“The U.S. military is for fighting America’s
enemies and if we’re using them here in the
United States, the implication is that
Americans are enemies,” McCoy said.
In response, McCoy drafted an open letter
denouncing the use of Marines in ICE operations,
stating, “We swore an oath to the Constitution,
and the law makes clear what the U.S. military
is for and not for. Using Marines to participate
in ICE operations on U.S. soil dishonors that
oath.”
He invited other veterans to sign the letter in
solidarity.
Since issuing the letter, over 200 veterans have
added their names in support.
