AT&T: The telecommunications giant was
awarded $90.7
million in 2021 to provide ICE with IT, network products and support
in a contract set to expire in September, though it includes a potential end
date of 2032 that could push the deal’s value to $165.2 million
Charter Communications: The company provides cable and internet services for ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations field office in Beaumont, Texas, in a contract valued at $12,837, which may expand to $21,839 and extend until 2028.
Comcast: The company holds an ICE award valued at $60,965.64 to provide the agency with broadcast cable at five “regional wire rooms.”
Dell: The company’s government contracting arm was
awarded $18.8
million in April 2025 to support the office of ICE’s chief information
officer “through the purchase of the Microsoft Enterprise software licenses.”
Deloitte: ICE has awarded the consulting firm
several multiyear contracts in recent years, including a $24
million contract in 2023 to provide “data modernization support”
through 2027.
FedEx: The mail carrier provides delivery services
for ICE through March 2027 in a contract valued at $2.3
million.
General Dynamics: The defense firm holds a $9.6
million contract with ICE to provide “background investigative

the location of targeted mobile handsets to investigate crimes and threats.”
Motorola Solutions: A separate firm from the cell

tactical communication infrastructure.

Surprising Fact
Management consultancy firm McKinsey & Company said in July 2018 it would stop work for ICE after disclosing it had done $20 million in consulting work for the agency. The disclosure reportedly sparked protests among current and former employees who opposed immigration policies during President Donald Trump’s first term.
Employees at Microsoft similarly protested the company’s $19.4 million contract with ICE, though Microsoft never disclosed whether it cut ties with the agency (CEO Satya Nadella said in 2018 the company provided cloud support for ICE and called Trump’s immigration policies at the time “simply cruel and abusive.”).
Last week, more than 250
employees at several tech giants—including Amazon, Palantir, Spotify, Google
and Tesla, among others—demanded their employers to speak
publicly against ICE, “call the White House and demand that ICE leave our
