Migrants being detained at the border camps are suffering through abhorrent and inhumane conditions, so while we’re aware that Shah and Wayfair’s leadership is profiting from human misery and human rights’ violations, it’s important for us to be aware of the other private citizens, politicians, and companies who are enriching themselves while others are ripped away from their families and confined in overcrowded cages.
We’re aware that the U.S. government has been tracking and detaining migrants since before the Trump Administration and according to a 2018 article by In These Times, ICE spent close to $1.7 billion on close to 5000 contractors in 2017.
Wear Your Voice wanted to put together a list of the known companies and politicians profiting from the camps — the list is non-exhaustive and we will update it with new information. We encourage you to divest from them, protest, write letters and call others to action.
