The corporate enablers of the #ICECrackdown

How #Amazon, AT&T, and #CitizensBank are profiting from the administration’s mass deportation campaign.

Excerpts: "#AmazonWebServices (#AWS) hosts the database, known as Investigative Case Management (#ICM), that ICE uses to target and deport #immigrants. ICM, which was created by #Palantir, 'integrates a vast ecosystem of public and private data to track down immigrants and, in many cases, deport them.' The data includes 'a person’s immigration history, family relationships, personal connections, addresses, phone records, biometric traits, and other information.' Through Palantir, AWS receives millions of dollars annually from the federal government to host ICM. Last April, the Trump administration awarded Palantir a new $30 million contract to create '#ImmigrationOS,' which is 'a new tool to provide [ICE] with enhanced capabilities to support deportation efforts.' ImmigrationOS is likely hosted on AWS, which has a strategic partnership with Palantir."

"Numerous financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, SunTrust, BNP Paribas, and Fifth Third Bancorp, pledged in 2019 to stop working with the #PrivatePrisonIndustry. (#BankOfAmerica and SunTrust have since 'softened their policy statements to allow financing again for detention companies in some circumstances.') But #CitizensFinancialGroup, which operates #CitizensBank, has continued to provide financing for private prison construction. In July 2025, Citizens provided a $450 million revolving credit line to #GEOGroup. Earlier, in March 2025, Citizens underwrote $500 million in bonds for #CoreCivic."

[...]

"In September 2024, AT&T inked a 10-year, $147 million contract with ICE’s parent agency, #DHS, to 'provide mission-critical communications services.' The agreement provides ICE and other DHS subdivisions with 'end-to-end voice priority over the AT&T commercial wireless network.' In August, the Trump administration awarded AT&T an $11 million no-bid contract to provide ICE with 'data analytics and support services.' "

Let us all remember #Geo and #CoreCivic gave considerable amounts of $$ to get Trump elected. Now it is payback time. It is all about the money, the grift and defrauding the tax payer. This is why they are indiscriminately plucking legal immigrants, immigrants without criminal records and even legal citizens and throwing them in these private prisons. 1/2
