Marietta X-ray? How do I boycott these companies, or how does anyone else? These appear to be locally owned, not a Target or retailer.

That's one path.

Then there's shifting buying patterns to companies not helping ICE.
Dumping stock.
Public shaming of execs sounds good to me and turning them into pariahs.

Someone is bound to be adding those companies to the apps that help you remember those you may want to boycott. Then there's tracking down their subsidiaries.

I'm fine with sharing company info and contacts. But I personally draw the line at personal doxxing, which could lead to harassment of family members or put them in danger.

The first few I looked at expired 15 or 16 years ago.

this is all of Homland Security and includes any grant or contract. The universities on the list probably have research grants which could range from computer science grants exploring how to prevent cyberattcks to how to make it harder to counterfeit money (under the Secret Service) to emergency management research.
