Activist Group Plans Protest Against BI Incorporated Over $108M ICE Contract

The company provides tracking services and ankle monitors for prisoners and undocumented immigrants.

Published on Feb. 27, 2026

An activist group has organized a protest on Saturday outside the headquarters of BI Incorporated, a Boulder-based company that provides tracking services and ankle monitors for prisoners as well as undocumented immigrants under a $108 million contract with the Department of Homeland Security. The protest is being held due to BI's association with immigration enforcement and its parent company GEO Group's contracts with ICE.

Why it matters

The protest highlights growing concerns over the role of private companies in immigration enforcement and the use of ankle monitors and other tracking technologies on undocumented immigrants. Critics argue these practices infringe on civil liberties and unfairly target vulnerable populations.

The details

BI Incorporated, a subsidiary of private prison company GEO Group, has a $108 million contract with DHS to facilitate the 'Intensive Supervision Appearance Program' (ISAP), which serves as an alternative to detaining illegal immigrants. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures over 200,000 GPS tracking units, alcohol detection units, and RF monitoring units annually. The protest is being organized by the activist group SoBoCoIndivisible and will take place outside BI's Gunbarrel Ave headquarters.
