Cross-reference companies using:
Corporate websites

This method allows the public to identify which companies support ICE and how.
ICE does not operate alone. Its enforcement, detention, surveillance, and litigation efforts depend on private companies providing:
Legal research platforms
Investigative and skip-tracing services
Records management and destruction
Logistics and operational support
Understanding which Ohio companies profit from ICE contracts enables informed public discussion, journalism, advocacy, and accountability.
Boycotts are a lawful form of civic participation grounded in free speech and consumer choice. When conducted ethically, they can raise awareness, influence corporate decision-making, and encourage transparency—without targeting individuals or disrupting lawful activity.
Peaceful and lawful only
Respectful communication with companies and the public
Fact-based advocacy (cite verifiable sources such as USAspending.gov)
No harassment, no threats, no doxxing, no property damage, no violence
Effective boycotts are precise. Decide upfront:
Which company (or limited set of companies) you are boycotting
What conduct you oppose (e.g., specific ICE contracts or services)
What change you are requesting (review, transparency, non-renewal, exit)
Avoid vague demands. Clarity improves credibility and results.
Before asking others to act:
Confirm the contract exists (award ID, dates, description)
Identify what services are provided and why they matter
Keep links to government sources readily available
Accuracy is essential. Misstatements undermine lawful advocacy.
A boycott begins personally:
Do not purchase the company’s products or services
Encourage alternatives without disparaging employees or customers
Document your decision respectfully (“I am choosing not to buy because…”)
Send polite, non-threatening letters or emails (see the sample letter above)
Request public disclosure or a policy review
Invite a response or statement—do not demand one
Professional communication is more likely to receive engagement.
Rather than duplicating efforts:
Search for ongoing campaigns focused on ICE vendors or detention accountability
Align messaging and timing with existing initiatives
Follow organizers’ codes of conduct and messaging guidelines
Coordination reduces confusion and increases impact.
Social platforms can amplify lawful advocacy when used carefully.
Best Practices
Share verified links and neutral summaries of the facts
Use calm, values-based language
Encourage peaceful boycotts and consumer awareness
Avoid tagging individual employees or private persons
What to Avoid
Insults, threats, or repeated unwanted messages
Sharing personal information
Coordinated harassment or pile-ons
Suggested Content Types
Short explainers (“What this contract does and why it matters”)
Graphics citing public data sources
Calls for ethical review and transparency
Statements of personal consumer choice
If appropriate:
Write letters to the editor or op-eds citing public records
Contact journalists with concise, sourced briefs
Share concerns with shareholders or institutional investors through lawful channels
Focus on policy and corporate governance—not individuals.
If you organize a page, group, or event:
Publish a code of conduct (no harassment, no threats, no illegal activity)
Remove content that violates the rules
De-escalate conflict and redirect to facts
Strong moderation protects participants and the campaign.
Track lawful indicators of impact:
Company responses or statements
Media coverage quality
Growth of informed participation (not volume of outrage)
Refine messaging to stay accurate and respectful.
Peaceful boycotts and expressions of opinion are lawful. Harassment, threats, intimidation, property damage, and violence are not. Staying within the law protects participants and strengthens the legitimacy of the cause.

Herman Legal Group – Boycott ICE Vendors Overview
These initiatives demonstrate how local, decentralized efforts can complement larger national campaigns.
Most online boycott efforts focus on companies that:
Hold federal contracts with ICE or DHS
Provide technology, data, or surveillance tools
Enable detention logistics or enforcement operations
Have consumer-facing brands sensitive to reputational impact
National reporting has documented corporate scrutiny and boycott discussions involving companies across technology, retail, hospitality, transportation, and data services sectors.
Despite differences in structure, effective and lawful boycott initiatives generally share the following traits:
Emphasis on consumer choice
Use of public records and verified data
Clear, non-coercive calls to action
No harassment or intimidation
No personal targeting of employees
Focus on corporate policy and accountability
Explainers and fact sheets
Government data citations
Transparent objectives
Respect for free-speech boundaries
Avoidance of misinformation
Compliance with platform rules and the law
Individuals interested in understanding or participating in ethical boycott efforts may explore:
Opposition to corporate support for immigration enforcement is a lawful exercise of free speech and consumer choice. Individuals and organizations have the right to:
Express disagreement with a company’s business practices
Choose not to purchase a company’s products or services
Encourage others to do the same through peaceful, truthful advocacy
Herman Legal Group strongly emphasizes the following principles:
Being polite, factual, and respectful
Communicating concerns directly to companies
Using accurate, verifiable information
Encouraging peaceful boycotts and consumer awareness
Respecting employees, contractors, and community members
Harassment, threats, or intimidation
Repeated unwanted communications
Hate speech or personal attacks
Property damage or vandalism
Violence or encouragement of violence
Illegal interference with business operations
Advocacy loses credibility—and legal protection—when it crosses into harassment or coercion. Peaceful boycotts and respectful communication are protected; harassment is not.
The following is a lawful, non-threatening, non-harassing sample letter that individuals may send to companies identified in this article. It is designed to communicate concern, request reconsideration, and encourage ethical review—not to intimidate or shame.
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing as a member of the public to respectfully express my concern regarding your company’s current or past contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
I recognize that your organization operates within the law and fulfills contractual obligations with government agencies. At the same time, many members of the public—including myself—are deeply concerned about the human impact of immigration detention and enforcement practices carried out by ICE.
As a consumer, I am exercising my right to voice my opinion and to make informed choices about the companies I support. I respectfully urge your leadership team to review your involvement with ICE and to consider whether continued participation aligns with your company’s stated values, corporate responsibility commitments, and community impact goals.
This message is sent in the spirit of peaceful civic engagement and ethical dialogue. I appreciate your time and consideration and hope your company will engage transparently with the public on this issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[City, State]

Herman Legal Group supports:
Peaceful protest
Lawful boycotts
Informed public discourse
Transparency and accountability
