Overview
MVM, Inc. is a U.S.-based private security and professional services contractor headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia. Public reporting and procurement records describe MVM as a contractor supporting U.S. government agencies, including DHS and ICE, with services that include transportation/escort and related operational support.[1]
Procurement reporting and federal contracting records describe ICE awarding MVM contracts for “Unaccompanied Alien Children and Family Units Transportation Services,” including an award under contract number 70CDCR20C00000001.[2]
Boycott
MVM, Inc. is listed for boycott due to documented work supporting ICE and related DHS enforcement operations, including contracts and contract actions for unarmed escort/custody and transportation services connected to ICE custody of unaccompanied children and family units.
- Federal acquisition notices describe ICE’s requirement for “unarmed escort staff” and related management/training/equipment to provide unarmed escort services for non-criminal/non-delinquent unaccompanied children and family units on a continuous basis (365 days/year).[3][4]
- A DHS Office of Inspector General report states that ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) uses a contractor (named as MVM, Inc.) to escort most “unaccompanied children” on domestic commercial flights.[5]
- ICE contracting records made available via FOIA include contract documentation identifying MVM, Inc. as the contractor on ICE contract HSCEE1-08-A-00001 (contract documentation).[6]
- ICE procurement notices and contract-opportunity reporting also describe contract actions/modifications involving MVM for “unarmed guard services and transportation services,” including activity described as supporting a Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (NSGB).[7]
In addition, public reporting has described litigation alleging MVM’s role as an ICE contractor connected to transportation of separated families/unaccompanied minors during the family separation period, and reporting notes a federal judge allowing claims against MVM to proceed at the pleadings stage.[8]
Background
ICE and other DHS components rely on contractors for transportation, custody/escort, guard services, and logistics in support of enforcement and detention operations. Because these contracts can materially support immigration enforcement capacity—including detention and transfer operations—ICE List documents and, where applicable, boycotts companies whose work supports those functions.[2]
