      Amazon’s cloud computing services, the authors wrote, “have become vital to ICE’s crackdown on immigrants, with their data storage being used for mass surveillance and deportation.”

      AT&T, which received $382 million in Department of Homeland Security contracts between 2022-24, “serves as the digital backbone for Trump’s deportation machine.”

      Home Depot “has appeared to be collaborating with Trump’s ICE mass immigration sweeps on their property, putting thousands of customers and employees’ safety at risk.”

      Microsoft—which gave the Trump Inaugural Committee $750,000 in 2024—has received at least $45 million in homeland security-related contracts in recent years.

      Palantir has partnered with ICE to use the company’s artificial intelligence system to identify, track, and deport suspected undocumented immigrants—and is reportedly helping the government build a database of Americans’ private information in likely violation of multiple laws.

      The only one of these I still use at all is Microsoft. I realize now that I have a moral imperative to stop giving them money.
