Stand in Solidarity: Boycott Companies Supporting ICE

Today, I want to address an urgent issue that affects our communities and the values we stand for. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been a focal point of controversy, and many believe that their actions do not reflect our collective morals. To show solidarity with those impacted by ICE's actions, we must take a stand against the companies that provide support and resources to this agency.

It's become crucial for us to identify and boycott the companies that financially support ICE in their operations. By reducing our patronage of these businesses, we can weaken the infrastructure that enables ICE's detention and deportation efforts. Below, I have outlined key companies across various sectors that are linked to ICE. I urge you to consider switching to alternatives that align with our shared values.

Technology:
Several tech firms have direct ties to ICE through contracts and services:

• Palantir: Provides data analysis tools and databases for ICE's detention and deportation efforts.
• Dell: Has received contracts for technology and services used by ICE.
• Microsoft: Partners with ICE for technology and software.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise: Holds a contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees ICE.
• Motorola Solutions: Manages contracts to provide services to ICE.
• Booz Allen Hamilton: Supplies data analytics and IT services to ICE.
• AT&T: Offers IT and network products that support ICE operations.
• CACI International: Provides communications operations and maintenance services to ICE.

Food Processing:
In the food industry, companies involved with ICE include:

• JBS USA Holdings Inc.: A participant in the IMAGE program, ensuring a lawful workforce.
• Tyson Foods: Also involved in the IMAGE program.

Hospitality:
In the hospitality sector, consider avoiding:

• Chick-fil-A, Inc.: A participant in the IMAGE program.
• Hyatt: Another hospitality company involved in the IMAGE program.

Logistics and Transportation:
These logistics companies are also known to support ICE:

• FedEx: Provides delivery services specifically for ICE operations.
• Puerto Rico Freight System: Another participant in the IMAGE program.

Private Prisons and Detention Services:
Nearly 90% of individuals in ICE custody are held in for-profit prisons, which financially benefit from ICE's detention and deportation contracts.

Other Industries:

• Costco Wholesale Corporation: A member of the IMAGE program.
• Ecolab: Supplies cleaning products for detention centers.
• General Dynamics: Provides background investigation services for ICE.
• L3Harris Technologies: Supplies equipment for investigations.
• McKinsey & Co.: Has provided consultancy services to ICE.

It's important to boycott the companies listed above until they prove they are no longer supporting ICE. Each of us has the power to make a difference and stand firm in our convictions. By choosing to spend our resources wisely, we can push back against the practices and policies that harm our communities.

Together, let’s show solidarity and demand a future where our values are reflected in our choices.

Thank you for your commitment to justice and equality.
