To AT&T Executive Leadership,
I am writing as a concerned customer and member of the public to urge AT&T to immediately terminate its $83 million IT and network services contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE has a well-documented record of human rights abuses, including family separation, prolonged and abusive detention, and violations of due process. By providing large-scale IT and network infrastructure to ICE, AT&T is materially enabling the agency’s operations and is therefore complicit in the harm those operations cause to individuals, families, and communities.
AT&T frequently emphasizes its commitments to integrity, human rights, and corporate responsibility. Continuing a contract of this size and scope with ICE stands in direct contradiction to those stated values. As a core provider of communications and network infrastructure, AT&T has both the leverage and the responsibility to refuse participation in government practices that cause widespread and preventable harm.
Customers, employees, and investors are increasingly scrutinizing corporate involvement in immigration enforcement and detention systems. Maintaining this contract exposes AT&T to reputational risk and undermines public trust in the company’s ethical commitments.
I urge AT&T to:
- Immediately terminate its $83 million IT and network contract with ICE, and
- Publicly commit to ending all current and future business relationships with ICE.
Taking this step would demonstrate meaningful leadership and a willingness to align AT&T’s business practices with its professed values and responsibilities. I will be watching closely for AT&T’s response and will take the company’s actions on this issue into account in my decisions as a customer going forward.
Sincerely,
[ Your Name ]
