Ken’s reporting shows that 8 local police departments in Missouri were slated to receive over $1.4 million in ICE bounties

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

With ICE's public approval in the toilet, the agency is quietly paying off local police to act as bounty hunters carrying out its immigration mission

No company (public or private) should profit from deportations.

ICE relies on private companies to help carry out its thuggery — we need to go after these corporate collaborators

Here's a list of low-lift national targets, mostly public-facing companies with relatively small ICE contracts that are set to expire soon, making them particularly vulnerable to consumer and employee pressure:

Dell ($18.8 million contract with ICE for Microsoft software licenses, expiring March 2026)

UPS ($90,500 small package delivery contract with ICE, expiring March 2026)

FedEx ($1 million delivery services contract with ICE, expiring March 2026)

Motorola Solutions ($15.6 million tactical communication infrastructure contract with ICE, expiring May 2026)

Comcast ($24,600 internet services contract for ICE Seattle office, expiring May 2026 — this could be a great fight for new mayor Katie Wilson to take on).

AT&T ($83 million IT and network contract with ICE, with a potential end date of July 2032).

LexisNexis ($21 million data-brokerage contract with ICE — this company is particularly vulnerable to pressure from university students and professor unions, since much of its revenue comes from colleges.)

Home Depot and Lowe’s are using AI-powered license plate readers and feeding this data into law enforcement surveillance systems accessible to ICE. Their parking lots are also regular sites of ICE raids targeting day laborers.
