TIME Lists Companies that Sell Services to ICE -- Just In Case You Want to Boycott Them

Of course.

The young woman who defeated Joe Crowley in New York last night ran on a platform which included a call to abolish ICE. Now I'm beginning to wonder if the mainstream media is getting onboard with the idea. One prime example popped up in my timeline this morning and took me by surprise. It's an article from Time Magazine about Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but it has nothing to do with raids, deportations or employers hiring illegals. It's a list of "15 organizations doing business with ICE and how much they're making."

[W]e live in the era of the boycottocracy and it’s particularly prominent in progressive circles. ICE is currently a favorite target on the left (apparently for having the temerity to follow the instructions they receive from the President and his cabinet) and it’s not hard to imagine these organizations quickly becoming the focus of their wrath. There's zero chance that Time doesn't know this, so are they just stoking the fire to see if people will begin threatening these schools and businesses with financial ruin unless they cut ties?

Maybe people should start boycotting anyone who advertises in TIME or does any business with TIME.
