Thomson Reuters Employees Demand That ICE “Leave Our Cities”

The company is set to sell voter data to ICE in a $125 million deal.

The Committee to Restore Trust, representing approximately 200 Thomson Reuters employees, issued a statement today condemning their company’s deal with the US government to seek “voter fraud” and “immigration fraud” data. The statement reads as follows:

The Committee to Restore Trust finds this latest contract between DHS/ICE and TRSS (Thomson Reuters Special Services) to support the “presidential mandate” of the identification of Voters Fraud, Immigration Fraud and National Security” deeply troubling. Numerous sources have reported human rights abuses by ICE and DHS agents during Operation Metro Surge and around the country. We ask the company to refrain from further business with DHS and ICE until an independent board audits and reviews their usage of public records applications in 2026. For context, the only audits Thomson Reuters confirms are from 2025, prior to Operation Surge in Minneapolis. Furthermore, we encourage executive leadership to cancel existing contracts, speak out publicly against ICE’s violent campaign of terror, and use their platform to demand ICE leave our cities.
