Media and data firm Thomson Reuters face pressure to ditch Ice contracts

Shareholders will vote on whether to assess the human rights impact on contracts which allow Ice to ‘track and arrest immigrants’

The data and media company Thomson Reuters is under increasing pressure to re-evaluate its contracts with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), which critics say facilitate deportations of immigrants and perpetrates human rights abuses.

The company – which provides data and information to companies and government clients, and also owns the Reuters news agency – has held contracts with Ice since 2015, including providing the immigration agency with a software called Clear, which consolidates public records, including motor vehicle and arrest databases, to track people for deportation.
