An Incomplete List of Companies Working with ICE
It’s been suggested to me that I put a thread I recently did on companies working with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in a separate, more permanent place in case the original thread gets taken down. To that end, here is a woefully incomplete list (with sources!) of some of the companies making huge profits off the suffering of undocumented immigrants:

Shaming alone won’t work — companies don’t have consciences. And as you might’ve been able to tell, lots of these companies don’t really do PR; they’re comfortable being in the shadows because their customers are all governments. But we can absolutely still put pressure on them. None of the ghouls getting rich from US concentration camps deserve a moment’s peace, and their information is all over the Internet. All these companies have addresses. Boycott, protest, shame, whatever the fuck it takes.
I encourage you all to do your own digging (this website is a great resource for government contracts, and I’ve even queued up the search for you to filter contracts awarded by ICE that include fiscal year 2019) and then do whatever you can to make life a little harder for the profiteers of human misery running our government and workplaces. It’s been encouraging seeing such strong reactions from you all. We’re not powerless.
