The federal agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has come under the microscope recently as Donald Trump’s aggressive crackdowns on immigrants sparks protests and pushback from some corners. Though immigration reform is something many voters support in theory, the brutal tactics some agents have used have been disturbing to many. But it’s not just the 20,000-person government agency, headed by Acting Director Todd Lyons that is orchestrating the push.
Hundreds of private companies contract with ICE, providing everything from internet services, to package delivery, to soap, bed linens, and festival tents. And ICE’s most significant spending may still be to come. The White House’s proposed budget, aka Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” has earmarked $75 billion in additional funds for ICE operations. The bulk of that spending, around $45 million, would go to increasing the government’s capacity for adult detentions and family residential centers.
During President Donald Trump’s first administration, this proved controversial. Thousands of employees at organizations including Amazon, Microsoft, and Deloitte called on their employers to cut ties to ICE and other federal agencies overseeing policies that separated migrant children from their parents. In many cases, as with the highly influential consulting firm McKinsey, workers’ letters and protests of that era successfully convinced business leaders to end their relationships with immigration-focused federal departments.
Below is a look at the Fortune 500 companies that have active contracts with ICE in 2025, according to public data on USASpending.gov as of mid-June. Many of these firms, which supply ICE with software, hardware, and delivery services, won contracts with the agency under the Biden administration. But given ICE’s new tactics and intensified mission, these contracts could potentially invite scrutiny from employees and consumers.
Employees can find out whether an organization is providing products or services to ICE and adjacent government agencies by searching the government’s spending database. Choose “Recipients” under “Explore the Data” to start your search. Be sure to select the correct time frame and funding agency for your query. Check the database often since it is constantly being updated.
Finally, not all corporate work for ICE is easy to spot in public sources. Big tech companies have at times partnered with major defense firms like Lockheed Martin, and acted as subcontractors or vendors for federal contracts, which means their names may not show up in a basic search.
AT&T
In 2021, the telecom giant signed a multi-year contract to supply ICE with IT, network products, and support. The contract is worth $83 million and is set to wrap up in September. However, the contract includes the potential end date of 2032, and could potentially be worth $164.5 million. AT&T did not respond to Fortune’s request for comment.
Booz Allen Hamilton
The defense contractor has a $51.9 million contract to supply ICE with “design, development, and data analytics” for a project known as RAVEN, essentially a data repository managed by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit. The contract is set to end in September of this year, but the USASpending.gov site indicates that the work could be extended. The company didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Caci International
A federal contractor and IT services company, Caci provides ICE with tactical communications operations and maintenance as part of an ICE award that’s worth $119.9 million, and could potentially increase to $130.6 million. This contract was signed in 2021 and is set to end in March of 2026. Caci didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Charter Communications
The smallest ICE award to a Fortune 500 company went to Charter Communications for providing cable and internet services to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) field office in Beaumont, Texas. The current award amount is $12,837, though it could become a $21,329 project that would run until 2028. Charter was awarded this contract in 2022; it did not respond to a request for comment.
Comcast
Comcast holds an ICE award worth $60,965.64 to provide broadcast cable at “five regional wire rooms,” or centers for investigating criminal activity. The award is set to expire in September of 2025 and was signed one year prior to that end date. The company did not respond to requests for comment.
Dell
Dell Federal Systems, the government contracting arm of Dell computers, has been given $18.8 million “to support the office of ICE’s chief information officer through the purchase of Microsoft enterprise software licenses.” The work was first awarded in April of this year and is set to expire in the spring of 2026. Dell did not respond to requests for comments.
Ecolab
Ecolab, a major provider of cleaning supplies, as well as food and beverage production equipment, took on a 5-year contract worth $136,518 beginning in 2021, to supply laundry and dish machine detergent to ICE’s Florence detention center in Arizona. The company confirmed this contract, which is set to expire in 2026, with Fortune.
FedEx
FedEx provides delivery services for ICE, having been awarded $1 million for this service in 2021. The contract is set to expire in 2026. FedEx declined to comment on the record.
General Dynamics
Another large contractor for the federal government, General Dynamics has a $9.6 million contract to provide background investigations for ICE. The contract is set to expire at the end of this month. The company confirmed in an email to Fortune that it has many IT service agreements with agencies across the federal government, including with ICE’s parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security.
L3Harris Technologies
A major U.S. defense contractor, L3 Harris has a $4.4 million contract to provide “equipment to determine the location of targeted mobile handsets to investigate crimes and threats” for ICE. First awarded in 2022, the contract is set to expire at the end of this year. L3 didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Motorola Solutions
Motorola Solutions, now a separate company from cell phone maker Motorola Mobility, is focused on consumer-grade walkie-talkies, video surveillance systems, and other forms of communications technology. It has a $15.6 million contract to “implement and maintain the ICE tactical communication infrastructure which delivers mission-critical, lifesaving, secure voice and data capabilities to the ICE law enforcement community and federal partners,” according to USASpending.gov. The contract began in September 2023 and is set to expire in May 2026, but could be extended until 2028 and increase to $28 million. The company did not respond to requests for comment.
Thermo Fisher Scientific
A maker of lab and special diagnostic equipment, Thermo Fisher has a relatively small contract ($38,000) to provide ICE’s Raleigh office with narcotics analyzers “for investigative case operations and agent safety.” The contract began in May of this year and is set to expire at the end of June. Thermo Fisher did not respond to requests for comment.
United Parcel Service (UPS)
UPS has a contract to supply small package deliveries for ICE. The contract, first awarded two years ago, is worth $60,500 now, but could ultimately be worth $90,500 if it is extended past the expiration month of March 2026. UPS did not respond to a request for comment.
Editor’s note: A previous version of this story included Insight Enterprises in this list. However, the company that had the contract was Insight Technology Solutions, a separate entity.
