Overview
B.I. Incorporated (often styled “BI Incorporated” or “BI Inc.”) is a United States–based electronic monitoring and community supervision contractor headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.[1] BI is a subsidiary of The GEO Group, seen in reporting on GEO’s acquisition and GEO’s descriptions of BI within its “GEO Care” segment.[2][3]
Public reporting, federal records, and ICE program documentation describe BI as a contractor providing supervision technology and related services used in immigration enforcement programs such as ICE’s Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP) and ICE’s Alternatives to Detention (ATD).[4][5][6]
Boycott
B.I. Incorporated is listed for boycott due to documented work supporting U.S. immigration enforcement agencies (ICE and DHS) through operation and support of programs that expand surveillance and monitoring capacity outside detention facilities, including electronic monitoring and app-based check-in systems used under ISAP / ATD.[4][5][6]
Federal spending records show Department of Homeland Security contract awards to B.I. Incorporated for ICE-related work (award summaries on USAspending.gov).[7][8] BI’s role as an ICE contractor for ISAP/monitoring services is also described by GEO Group investor communications about its ICE/ISAP contracting, and by independent reporting focused on ICE surveillance tools and contractors.[9][10][11]
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.[4][5] 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).[6][11]
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.
