Boycott ICE (branded on its site as ICEBREAKERS) is a community-led advocacy movement fighting against the abuses of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They frame ICE as an aggressive enforcement agency responsible for mass detention, deportations, and family separation, and they mobilize grassroots pressure by targeting the economic and corporate infrastructure that enables ICE to operate.
What They Do
Boycott ICE organizes campaigns to weaken ICE’s reach by urging consumers to withhold economic support from companies that contract with, fuel, or otherwise enable ICE operations. The group provides educational resources, guides on how to boycott specific vendors (like fuel suppliers), and steps individuals can take to participate in boycott actions. Their work includes:
-
Public advocacy against unjust detention and deportation policies
-
Research and resources on corporate ties to ICE
-
Volunteer engagement and action toolkits
-
Targeted boycott campaigns of companies servicing or supplying ICE infrastructure
Why This Matters for the Resistance
Boycott ICE channels economic and consumer pressure as a strategy to disrupt enforcement mechanisms that harm immigrant communities. By focusing on corporate accountability and disruptive economic action, they build leverage beyond protests alone — creating sustained pressure on companies complicit in immigration enforcement systems.
