John,

This administration wants us to believe this violence is just policy. State sponsored violence is not policy, it is strategy. A strategy that funds ICE to inspire fear and control people under the mask of making America safe again. America will not be safe until we abolish ICE. The fact is this violence is avoidable and a flaw of the very system created to oppress us. While ICE continues to invest in their digital infrastructure, Black people are dying.

ICE’s capacity to track, detain, and deport is not just about agents on the ground. It’s about the back-end systems that hold and connect vast amounts of personal data. Major tech and analytics firms are at the center of this infrastructure.

Add your name to:

Demand corporate accountability
Stop ICE-enabled violence
Protect Black and immigrant communities

Surveillance tools originally built for “efficiency” are now being used to hunt people, predominantly Black immigrants and Black families, across digital and physical spaces. These technologies feed data into law enforcement systems that disproportionately criminalize Black people and communities of color.

Palantir has received tens of millions in contracts to provide investigative case management systems for ICE, and companies like Deloitte and AT&T provide analytics and network services that extend ICE’s reach. These systems aren’t on the outskirts of operations, it’s the center of them. It is the very infrastructure that makes ICE operational.

Black communities shouldn’t have to choose between using corporate tech and being harmed by it. These companies must divest from ICE collaborations immediately.

Silence lets violence pass for consent. We refuse to be silent. Companies like Palantir, Deloitte, and AT&T are not innocent bystanders, they are knowingly and brazenly enabling ICE’s reach. Black communities should have to choose between using modern technology and being harmed. Continuing these contracts is a choice and history will record who made it.

Until Justice Is Real,
