== Background ==

ICE’s Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program is described by ICE as a set of supervision and monitoring approaches used for people released from custody while immigration proceedings continue.<ref name="ICEATD" /><ref name="ICEATDFAQ" /> Oversight organizations and reporting have described BI as the contractor operating or supporting major components of these programs, with technology including GPS tracking devices and app-based check-ins (e.g., SmartLINK).<ref name="TRACATD2022" /><ref name="TechPolicyPress2025" />

Because these programs can materially expand enforcement capacity through surveillance and compliance monitoring, ICE List documents and, where applicable, boycotts companies whose contracting and operational roles support immigration enforcement activities.
