Overview
Raytheon (now a business unit of RTX Corporation) is a major U.S. defense contractor and federal supplier. Public advocacy documentation, procurement reporting, and company announcements describe Raytheon contract work connected to DHS immigration enforcement agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).[1][2]
Boycott
Raytheon (RTX) is listed for boycott due to documented work supporting DHS immigration enforcement agencies, including ICE and CBP, and organized public calls for boycott documented by advocacy reporting focused on DHS/ICE/CBP contracting.[1]
AFSC Investigate reports that ICE awarded Raytheon a contract valued at $45 million to develop a modernized Investigative Case Management (ICM) system intended to support ICE investigative operations and information sharing across numerous databases.[1] Raytheon publicly announced the ICE ICM modernization award in 2011, describing the project as a replacement for ICE’s legacy investigative case management system.[3]
Public reporting has also described CBP awarding Raytheon contracts for surveillance radar systems intended for maritime detection capabilities, including deployments on CBP aircraft and unmanned systems used for long-range surface detection in maritime environments.[4]
Background
ICE and CBP rely on contractors for technology platforms, data systems, sensors, and program support across enforcement, investigative, and border surveillance functions. Because these contracts can contribute to surveillance, targeting, and enforcement capacity, ICE List documents and, where applicable, boycotts companies whose work materially supports immigration enforcement operations.[1]
