Demand CEOs End Their Contracts with ICE - Action Network
A coalition is urging CEOs of publicly traded companies to end their contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) due to ongoing criticism of ICE's practices, including prolonged detention, family separation, and fatalities during enforcement operations. The campaign highlights recent actions such as companies stopping involvement with ICE and calls for corporate leaders to sever ties, publish reviews of their government collaborations, and support accountability measures like impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Emails to over 100 CEOs will be sent on March 1, the anniversary of ICE’s founding, to encourage principled corporate leadership in opposition to controversial immigration enforcement policies.
Demand CEOs End Their Contracts with ICE
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So, we should force the private sector to stop helping.
We know it's tempting to feel like your actions don't matter - but they do.
Because of citizen pressure we've already seen:
Kristi Noem & Greg Bovino be forced to leave Minnesota
The conclusion of ICE's crackdown in Minnesota
Avelo Airlines has stopped running deportation charter flights
Workers in Minneapolis pushed a local Hilton affiliate to stop renting rooms to ICE agents
Join us as we email more than 100 CEOs whose companies have contracts with ICE.
Emails will be sent on March 1st - the 20th anniversary of the formation of ICE.

A Nationwide Message to Corporate Leaders: Will You Lead?
I am writing as a concerned customer, community member, and stakeholder urging you to immediately reconsider and take action regarding your company’s involvement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Today, this letter is being sent simultaneously to the CEOs of every public company known to contract with ICE. *The message is identical. What will differ is your response. *Will you lead where others remain silent?
March 1 marks the anniversary of ICE’s founding in 2003. More than two decades later, the agency’s practices—and the role of private corporations in enabling them - are under sustained national scrutiny.
Public reporting indicates that your company maintains active contracts supporting ICE operations. ICE has faced repeated criticism from courts, oversight bodies, journalists, and human rights organizations for prolonged detention, family separation, denial of due process, and detention conditions that have resulted in preventable harm and deaths in custody.
On January 7, 2026, 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed during an ICE-related operation, prompting protests and calls for accountability. On January 24, 2026, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and ICU nurse, was fatally shot during another federal immigration action in the same city. These deaths have become focal points in a growing national debate over use of force, oversight, and accountability.
As CEO, you set the ethical direction of your company. Continuing to contract with ICE places you and your business in tension with the principles of human dignity and social responsibility many corporations publicly affirm. It also exposes your brand to reputational risk, consumer backlash, and internal opposition from employees who do not want their work associated with these outcomes.
The question before you is straightforward:
Will you publicly commit to sever ties with ICE?
Will you affirm that people and constitutional accountability matter more than continued participation in a system under widespread legal and ethical challenge?
I urge you to:
End or decline to renew contracts with ICECommission and publish an independent review of how these contracts align with your stated valuesSpeak transparently about how [Company Name] evaluates government partnerships that implicate human rights and civil liberties
I also call on you to publicly support the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for sustained failures of oversight, accountability, and humane administration of immigration enforcement. Impeachment is a constitutional mechanism for accountability when leadership fails to uphold the law and protect fundamental rights.
Members of the press will receive a list of the companies and CEOs included in this outreach and will track responses and actions. Leadership in this moment will not go unnoticed.
History shows that companies can choose a different path when leaders are willing to act first. This is a moment for principled leadership.
