Overview
Charter Communications, Inc. is a United States–based telecommunications company providing broadband internet, cable television, and related communications services through its Spectrum brand. Charter states that its corporate headquarters is in Stamford, Connecticut, and that the company was founded in 1993.[1][2]
Boycott
Charter Communications is listed for boycott due to documented contract work providing telecommunications services to DHS immigration enforcement components, including ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).
Public procurement reporting describes a DHS/ICE ERO purchase order awarded to Charter Communications Operating for “Wireless Internet (WI-FI) and cable television services” supporting ICE/ERO offices (Buffalo Field Office and Albany (Malta) Sub-Office), identified as Purchase Order 70CDCR22P00000021.[3] USAspending.gov also lists the same DHS contract identifier as a contract award to Charter Communications Operating LLC under DHS.[4]
Reporting summarizing ICE awards has also described Charter Communications as holding an ICE award for providing cable and internet services, citing an award amount in the low tens of thousands of dollars and a potential multi-year period of performance.[5]
Background
ICE and other DHS components rely on external vendors for telecom access and related connectivity services across field offices and operational sites. Because these services can materially support immigration enforcement capacity and operations, ICE List documents (and, where applicable, boycotts) companies that provide contracted services to ICE and DHS immigration enforcement entities.[3]
