Why Transparency Around ICE Contractors Matters

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.

How to Initiate or Join a Lawful Boycott of ICE Vendors

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.

Core Principles (Read First)

• 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

Step 1: Define a Clear, Narrow Objective

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.

Step 2: Verify the Facts

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.

Step 3: Start With Your Own Consumer Choices

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…”)

Step 4: Communicate Directly With Companies (Respectfully)

• 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.

Step 5: Join Existing Campaigns (When Available)

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.

Step 6: Use Social Media Responsibly

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

Step 7: Engage Media and Stakeholders—Lawfully

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.

Step 8: Set Guardrails and Moderate

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.

Step 9: Measure and Adjust

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.

Legal Note

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.

These initiatives demonstrate how local, decentralized efforts can complement larger national campaigns.

Why These Online Initiatives Exist

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.

• The Nation – “How Activists Are Targeting ICE’s Corporate Partners”

Shared Principles Across These Campaigns

Despite differences in structure, effective and lawful boycott initiatives generally share the following traits:

Peaceful and Lawful Advocacy

• Emphasis on consumer choice

• Use of public records and verified data

• Clear, non-coercive calls to action

Respectful Engagement

• No harassment or intimidation

• No personal targeting of employees

• Focus on corporate policy and accountability

Education-Driven Messaging

• Explainers and fact sheets

• Government data citations

• Transparent objectives

Legal Awareness

• Respect for free-speech boundaries

• Avoidance of misinformation

• Compliance with platform rules and the law

• Truthout coverage of ICE boycott campaigns

Expressing Opposition Lawfully, Respectfully, and Effectively

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:

What Lawful Advocacy Looks Like

• 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

What Is NOT Acceptable

• 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.

Sample Letter: Respectful Opposition to ICE Contracting

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]

Encouraging Ethical Boycotts (Not Harassment)

Boycotts are a long-recognized, lawful form of civic participation. Ethical boycott advocacy should focus on:

• Withholding personal spending

• Sharing verified information

• Engaging media and shareholders lawfully

• Calling for policy review—not punishment

Effective advocacy is calm, persistent, and fact-based—not aggressive or personal.

Why This Approach Matters

Companies are more likely to respond to:

• Professional communication

• Reputational and consumer-impact analysis

• Shareholder and stakeholder concerns

• Clear, values-based arguments

Harassment and threats often backfire, undermine public support, and can expose individuals to legal risk. Respectful advocacy strengthens credibility and impact.

HLG’s Position

Herman Legal Group supports:

• Peaceful protest

• Lawful boycotts

• Informed public discourse

• Transparency and accountability

HLG does not support harassment, intimidation, or illegal activity in any form.
