The 5 Targets

These corporations profit from ICE operations while doing business with our schools. Here's who they are, what they do, and how we cut the ties.

Target 1

Charter Flights

Eastern, GlobalX, Omni Air

What they do for ICE

Fly deportation flights removing families from the U.S.

The campus connection

Athletic teams charter the same planes that deport immigrants. Why should students ride deportation airlines?

Avelo Airlines dropped ICE flights after public pressure.

Target 2

Flock Safety

Flock Safety

What they do for ICE

License plate surveillance cameras fed directly to ICE through local police departments.

The campus connection

Campus police at 60+ schools use Flock cameras, tracking every car on campus without consent.

Oakland canceled its $2M Flock contract after community organizing.

Target 3

Enterprise

Enterprise Rent-A-Car

What they do for ICE

Rents vehicles to ICE agents conducting raids and deportation operations.

The campus connection

Universities hold rental contracts with Enterprise. Switching providers costs nothing and sends a clear message.

The easiest target to win. Rental contracts can be switched overnight.

Target 4

Hilton

Hilton Hotels

What they do for ICE

Houses ICE agents in hotels near detention centers and during enforcement operations.

The campus connection

Many campuses have on-site or affiliated Hilton properties. Schools can renegotiate hotel partnerships.

Protests against Hilton have spread from Minneapolis to the whole US.

Target 5

Target

Target Corporation

What they do for ICE

Corporate ICE collaborator headquartered in Minneapolis.

The campus connection

Target stores near every campus. Consumer and contract pressure from the education sector hits their brand.

Target leadership is showing cracks under sustained pressure.

Our Strategy

Get hundreds of colleges to drop their contracts with ICE's key enablers - Enterprise, Target, Hilton, Flock, and ICE Air Carriers. If our schools drop these companies, the companies will feel pressure to drop ICE.

To achieve this, we will build powerful escalating campaigns, around winnable demands, that combine majoritarian outreach with non-violent direct action.

Pillars of Support

Every regime depends on the cooperation of key institutions. ICE can't operate without corporations providing flights, vehicles, surveillance tech, and logistics. These are the pillars holding the system up. When enough pillars refuse to cooperate, the whole structure comes down.

Diagram showing the pillars of support for the regime: Schools, Businesses, Military, Faith, and Media. We can take down ICE by refusing to cooperate.

Our leverage: Students, faculty, and staff have enormous power over university administration. That makes schools one of the most effective places to pull a pillar.

How We Win

ICE, and the Trump regime generally, cannot function without the consent and collaboration of the business world. Breaking companies from ICE is the central axis for generating enough leverage to stop the regime's terrorization campaign.

Focusing on mass organizing around winnable campaigns, not just one-off actions, is also a critical step towards overcoming organizational silos and onboarding the countless Americans who want to effectively fight ICE and Trump but don't yet know how.

In so doing, we can build an anti-ICE, anti-authoritarian movement with enough breadth and depth to not only stop ICE, but also defeat the theft of the 2026 and 2028 elections.

Especially after Minneapolis, the situation is ripe for large-scale organizing. The recent victory at Avelo provides a proof of concept and inspiration, as does the spread of the campaign against Hilton. On every campus, the strategy is the same: escalating campaigns, around winnable demands, that combine majoritarian outreach with non-violent direct action. Each campus win builds momentum for the next.
