Microsoft Azure

ICE more than tripled the data it stores on Microsoft's Azure cloud from 400 TB to nearly 1,400 TB between July 2025 and January 2026, leaked documents reveal. ICE uses Azure blob storage, AI tools that analyze images and videos, and text translation services. Microsoft president Brad Smith said the company prohibits use of its technology for "mass surveillance of civilians." Employee activists have protested ICE contracts since 2018.
