Friends of LittleSis,
Behind ICE’s mass scale abductions are tech companies profiting off providing services via million dollar contracts to the federal agency.
For years, immigrant rights groups have warned of [big tech’s]([link removed]) role in criminal justice and immigration enforcement.
Mijente’s 2018 report [Who’s Behind ICE]([link removed]) reveals how Amazon and Palantir, in particular, “play central roles in supporting ICE’s surveillance, detention, and deportation systems through extensive data infrastructure and software contracts.”
The [#NoTechForICE]([link removed]) campaign has utilized this research to educate communities, [confront corporate]([link removed]) actors and [organize with tech workers and students]([link removed]).
Peter Thiel’s Palantir provides Homeland Security Investigations with case management and data analysis software, allowing both local and federal law enforcement to use these systems to undermine sanctuary city laws that prohibit or limit local authorities from collaborating with ICE. While Palantir provides ICE with the data, Amazon helps store it through Amazon Web Services.
Media Justice’s latest report “[The People Say No: Resisting Data Centers in the South]([link removed])” details the southern expansion of data centers and how communities are resisting, demonstrating that, “opposing surveillance and data centers is part of the same fight to protect our people from corporate and State harm.”

But tech billionaires aren’t the only ones profiting from ICE. Read our latest news story on [Billionaire Oligarchs and Corporations Profiting from ICE’s Deportation Machine]([link removed]) for a primer on the wealthy barons and corporate profiteers beyond tech who are enabling ICE’s deportation apparatus.
