What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is investing millions in network infrastructure and identity-based access controls as it expands operations. The purchases include nearly $100,000 in Cisco Identity Services Engine appliances, which are used to authenticate users and control access to enterprise networks. ICE has awarded network-related orders worth approximately $12.47 million to a Virginia-based technology reseller between May and September 2026.

The agency linked its additional network requirements to a significant increase in personnel and sites. ICE noted that its existing proprietary equipment left no competing alternatives for specialized optimization services, which limits competition for the systems and services needed to support the agency’s growth.
